FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price displayed is the base price, but factors like the day of the week, time of year, and distance can affect the final quote. For solo performances, my rate is $150 per hour, while duo performances are $200 per hour. Full band performances are negotiable, as they involve additional factors such as equipment and production needs. All necessary equipment, including a professional sound system and lights, can be provided by Nick Muilaert and the Society. This ensures that everything is handled seamlessly, allowing you and your guests to enjoy an exceptional night of live music tailored to your event. We’re here to create an unforgettable experience, no matter the size or style of your celebration.”
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The typical process for working with clients starts with ensuring I can provide 100% service to your event. We’ll go over all the necessary details, like confirming there’s power available for my equipment and taking care of any other logistical aspects. Next, I’ll want to know what type of music will set the tone for your event. What artists or songs will get you and your guests in a good mood? Which tunes bring back great memories? I have a vast repertoire to cater to any vibe, but I’ve found that clients really connect with the event when the music is personal to them. If you’re unsure, don’t worry—I’m happy to help guide you. I do ask that any specific song requests be provided at least 48 hours before the event, so I have time to learn them properly. Once we’ve nailed down the details, it’s time for me to deliver the perfect performance for your event!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
“I have over a decade of performing at every type of event imaginable, both as a solo artist and with a band. This extensive experience has honed my skills and made me a true professional in every aspect of my work. In addition to my performance experience, I’ve trained with some of the most highly regarded vocal and guitar instructors in the country to constantly improve my craft. Established vocal trainer Juliana Caymmi, daughter of Brazilian legend Dorival Caymmi, has provided me with world-class vocal training, while award-winning blues guitarist Predrag Petrovic has helped me refine my guitar technique. My training, combined with my experience, allows me to deliver the highest standard of performance with quick setup times, proper sound quality, constant vocal and guitar refinement, and the organization needed to ensure everything runs smoothly
