Introduction

~PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING!~ !! I only do vocal gigs with guitar accompaniment, not solo guitar gigs!! I’m an LA native singer-songwriter who is professional, passionate, and would love to be a part of your next event! I’ve done rehearsal dinners, baby showers, birthdays, engagement parties, you name it. Acoustic music is my thing. My usual setup includes acoustic guitar and vocals. I bring my own sound system so you won’t have to worry about a thing! I also have an amazing roster of incredible musicians and am able to put together a band for a bigger sound (string players, additional guitar, percussion, etc). just inquire and we can make it work ! **Please note!!! I have a 2 hour minimum :) ** Additional important note !! I do not do solo guitar gigs or piano gigs, only gigs that involve vocals and guitar :)

Emma and her band were fantastic! Professional, prepared, met the vibe and energy of the party. Coordination and easy. She was perfect for our backyard 40th birthday surprise. She told me the music would elevate the party, especially being a 40th, and she was completely right. I would hire her a million times again.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I’m a firm believer of pricing myself fairly but also justifiably. You do get what you pay for! $380 minimum (2 hours), $180 an hour following. I have a travel fee for events that are 10 miles or further from my location to cover miles, travel time, and gas. My hourly rate includes a PA system that I bring. I also allow for 3-4 song requests per event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I want to make your event the best ever! We set up a pre event phone call where will go into detail about what you’re looking for day of event. Everything is discussed in depth so I know the overall vibe- I will take care of everything so you can relax and enjoy your event day of!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have my Bachelors in Fine Arts from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. I have been singing since age 9 with professional vocal instructors and have performed in major cities throughout the USA.
