How Steven shapes a corporate event
Most of the evening is elegant background music tailored to the event and the brand aesthetic. Steven learns custom or bespoke music, genres and artists on request, plays lively sets and keytar when wanted, can dress in the brand look or in character (as Teddy Perkins for the Hulu Motel pop-up), provides microphones for announcements and speeches, and can act as MC. Everything is at the client’s request.
What clients say
We hired him for our annual office holiday party and he was beyond amazing! From being fully prepared to adapt to the needs to the venue to keeping the flow of the party on track! He was the soundtrack of the event as well as the background MC!!

Steven was a hit. He played songs from the 60’s-90’s including, pop, rock, jazz, musicals, and ragtime. He eagerly invited requests and had guests singing along and dancing. My mom enjoyed playing duets with him. Steven is talented, accommodating, fun, and worked easily with us. He arrived on time and looked fantastic in his black tux. He stayed beyond the planned duration and our guests were thrilled. Due to his enthusiasm the energy of the party continued deep into the night. We will hire Steven for future events and have referred him to many people who I understand will be hiring him soon. He will make your party a special occasion you will never forget!!
