About

Hi there! It's James here. Thanks so much for checking out my listing. In short, I'm a singer and pianist here to fulfil your musical needs, whether upbeat, romantic, or relaxed. I have a wide vocal range and an extensive repertoire for any occasion. I'm based in East Yorkshire/Northern Lincolnshire, but I'm happy to travel to you. See the attached videos for a look at what I do, but if you want an in-depth explanation, carry on reading below!

It's hard to get across what you do in a few words and a 2-minute promo video, but I'll do my best to explain what it is that I do and why it's perfect for your event! It's easy to see a piano and think that I'll just be playing Mozart - which is not really my niche. I'm a pop pianist, which means I'm singing all your classic covers (from the 1950s to the present day) but accompanied by a piano rather than an acoustic guitar. Think Elton John or Billy Joel - but covering a range of tunes!

Sometimes, you might need to figure out what you want in terms of your music. You just know you want music. And that's fine! I've performed at countless events over a professional career spanning nearly 10 years. That means weddings, parties, pub gigs, theatre shows, restaurants, festivals and a few other things I've probably forgotten - I've covered the works! That's given me an acute understanding of what people generally like and what gets people going. An understanding of the occasion is key!

Sometimes, you know exactly what you want. That perfect first dance on your wedding day or a specific list of tunes that's the soundtrack to your party. And that's great, too; you can pick from my list of songs! If it's not on there, I'm happy to learn a few songs to ensure your event is just what you dreamed it would be. In other words, we'll work together to make sure you're happy you know what you're getting, and when you get it, you love it!

So that's it. All you have to do is get in touch, and if I'm available, I'd love to be a part of whatever you've got planned!
