Absolutely any song can sound amazing on the violin when performed by the right violinist! Some songs have a natural melodic line that is easily recognizable on solo violin. Other songs would benefit from beats and background music to make it more recognizable. I can even improvise a violin melody over the original song! I offer free music consultations with every performance to review your song requests and make sure my performance of your favorite songs aligns with your vision.

My electric and classical violins sound very similar to each other, and I love playing them both! But there are 3 main differences between electric violin and classical violin to consider:

Amplification: The classical violin does not need any amplification, so it is perfect if you are looking for the most minimalistic and portable option. But this also means that for larger events, you would not be able to turn up the volume. I always recommend the electric violin for larger events where there will be a lot of ambient noise.

Looks: If you are going for a traditional look, the classical violin is perfect. If you are looking for something new and exciting, choose the electric violin! In almost every electric violin performance someone will tell me “I have never seen a violin like that before!”

Backing Tracks: Electric Violin performances include background instrumental tracks that can enhance the performance. For example, I use everything from a piano track to give a modern song a “Bridgerton Vibe”, full instrumentals and beats to set the stage for an upbeat Hip Hop violin feel, and even sometimes use the original song recording and add a live violin line for a one-woman DJ+Violinist show! Backing tracks do require a bit of coordination during ceremonies, etc. (I will need a few seconds between each song to switch to the next track).

The violin that I play the most is the electric violin. I love the unique look and the control over the volume and backing tracks. But I also love the classical violin and viola! And I am happy to help you determine which type of violin music would be best for your wedding or event.

My DJ services include sound equipment for my own instrumental performance, and for providing a microphone for your event host or wedding officiant, and playing music from a playlist to DJ a ceremony or provide background music while I am not performing.

Consultation. First, we schedule a free consultation to create the music package that best fits your event. You do not have to know every song that you will want in order to get started. We just need to ensure my availability and have an idea of what your vision is for my musical performance.

Contract. Next, you will receive an e-mail with an electronic contract and payment portal to make a 50% deposit whenever you are ready to lock me in. Once you send the deposit, I will sign the contract and send it back to you! The second payment will be automatically withdrawn from your original payment method, 3 days before your wedding or event, so you can “set it and forget it!” (You will receive an e-mail when your payment is due so the withdrawal will not come as a surprise.)

Coordination. Within a few days, I will send over a questionnaire asking for your preferences on all of the details - song choices, attire, contact person (planner, coordinator, etc), and any other notes you may have for me. If you need my personal recommendations of song choices or any other details, I am just a phone call away and happy to help! The ideal time to send the completed questionnaire back to me is at least a month before your wedding or event.

Celebration. Lastly, I will meet your chosen contact person on site before the event begins to set up, and deliver an unforgettable performance!

I have a song list of over 1000 songs in many genres and cultural styles and continue to take your song requests! Please keep in mind that I prefer to play music with family-friendly lyrics and messages. Check out my song list or contact me to see if I can make your favorite song sound amazing on the violin!

If you can imagine H.E.R. fused with Celine Dion, that is my voice! Its soulful and graceful tone is perfect for R&B, Pop, and Inspirational Music, and I am also bilingual so I sing Latin music too! When I combine singing and violin in performances, I switch back and forth between the two, with backing tracks to accompany me.

These are the backing tracks I refer to in my electric violin or vocal performances, and there are wonderful options when choosing types of backing tracks: piano backing tracks, guitar backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or even the original songs! I find and prepare these tracks in advance of your event and also review the options with you and make recommendations based on your particular event style, because different types of instruments set the stage differently! Piano tracks give a classical “Bridgerton” vibe. Full instrumentals increase the energy, and the original songs with violin over top might be the most high-energy option!

Absolutely. Whether you are looking for a very quiet ambiance or a show-stopping performance for hundreds of guests, my Bose sound equipment is fully controllable and can even connect to in-house or larger setups for very large events!

Yes! I have a high-quality wireless system that allows me to walk around if there is room to do so! You may even catch me spinning or dancing to high energy song selections!

I need electricity for my electric violin, but you do not! I usually keep a backup mini-generator handy just in case I need it. But if you are able to have me stationed next to an outlet during your event, it would be much appreciated!

I need to be in a comfortable environment that is shaded in the hot months and above 50 degrees during the cold seasons.

I also need to know what the event’s rain plan is so I can assure that my instruments and equipment will not get wet.

For wedding ceremonies, I would like a chair so I can sit during the officiated portion.

Lastly, I will need to know who to meet with when I arrive on site.

I am unusually sensitive to the needs of others and a perfectionist when it comes to delivering an impressive and professional performance. I love using my gift of music to learn the songs that are meaningful to my clients, even if the song takes a little extra work to learn! I see it as a special opportunity to create memories and connect with people of different backgrounds, cultures, and special life moments.
