Description

Electric Guitarist
A versatile electric guitarist for lounges, bars, lobby stages, and late-night venues aboard cruise ships and in five-star hotels. Repertoire spans jazz, blues, pop, funk, and contemporary covers, delivered with the polish expected of a premium hospitality setting. Comfortable performing solo with backing tracks, in a duo, or integrated into a full house band, with the reading skills and musical flexibility to slot into existing setlists and charts at short notice. Ideal for cocktail hours, dinner sets, and evening entertainment where energy and musicianship need to shift ... seamlessly from background ambience to full performance.
Classical Guitarist
An extensive classical guitar repertoire — showcased on his YouTube channel — spanning solo Spanish and Latin American works, Baroque and Romantic-era pieces, and contemporary classical arrangements. Trained to LTCL Distinction level at Trinity College London, with the sight-reading ability to take on new or requested repertoire with ease. Toured Europe as a classical guitarist with the acclaimed duo Waiora, performing across England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Slovakia, and has years of experience providing elegant, sophisticated live music for five-star hotel lobbies, fine-dining restaurants, weddings, and formal events. A refined choice for venues wanting an authentic, high-calibre classical presence rather than a background recording.
Solo Guitarist (Guitar & Vocals)
A complete one-man entertainment package — guitar and voice combined — built for venues that want a warm, engaging performer who can hold a room on his own. Repertoire draws on years performing in jazz bars, at weddings, and on international stages, including a performance at the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix. A genuine entertainer first: reads the crowd, takes requests, and shifts style fluidly across genres and moods to suit anything from an intimate hotel bar to a lively cruise ship evening show. His multicultural background and basic conversational Mandarin, Bahasa Indonesia, and Korean let him connect naturally with the international guests common to cruise ships and luxury hotels worldwide.
