Scott was able to deliver and hit all the marks for our wedding on a shorter time notice. You can definitely tell how experienced he is based off the vibe he radiates, as well as how talented he is on the piano/keyboard. He was the highlight of the ceremony and I’d definitely use him again!

My husband and I hired Scott for an upscale 25th wedding anniversary dinner party, and WE ARE SO GLAD WE DID! He made everything so effortless. He's a great communicator, incredible musician, and everyone at our party really enjoyed his music. He played a great variety! Scott has a really nice way he interacts with everyone too - very easygoing, kind and professional. Because he played during our dinner party he was very mindful about the volume so we could easily talk. We'll definitely be hiring Scott again! Hire this guy! He's top notch!

I hired Scott to do a surprise proposal inside a hotel room in Vegas. Let me say, this was the cherry on top. He showed up on time and just killed it from there. Definitely a night to remember. Amazing skills when it comes to the piano and vocals.

We hired Scott for a company event. He was extremely courteous, responsive, professional and, above all else, talented! Our guests greatly enjoyed his music and singing, and he has a very versatile setlist and was willing to take requests. We very much look forward to working with him again in the future.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not have a standard pricing system. I base my pricing on travel, equipment that needs to be provided, and the length of the gig. I also base my pricing on the number of musicians requested as I work as a soloist, a duo, trio or in a small band format, and as a Dueling Pianos show.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step in my process with a new client is to establish what it is that they are looking for in their entertainment. Background music, or out front entertaining and involving an audience with up tempo sing-a-long music, or just providing music to dance to etc.. From there we would work on types of music the client would like performed, hours and location of the performance venue, and what type of attire the client would prefer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a pianist/singer for 40 years. I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for two years, and then transferred and got my Bachelors Degree in Music from The Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. I have performed all over the country playing with bands and trios, performing dueling pianos, and performing as a soloist. I have been performing full time in Las Vegas since 2004 at NYNY, Paris, Harrahs, the Encore, and Mirage casinos to name just a few, as well as performing for weddings, private parties and corporate events.
