Question 1

How early do you come to set up?

Accepted Answer

2 Hours before the reception starts

Question 2

What makes you different from other musicians?

Accepted Answer

I Create Experiences, Not Just Performances. I don’t just play music—I craft an immersive, emotional journey. My drum show isn’t a “set”; it’s a celebration of life, love, and unity that transforms any wedding into a full-sensory experience. Most musicians bring a setlist. I bring the heartbeat. With live drums, vocals, DJ mixes, and a mix of live musicians and dancers, my performance bridges live artistry with dance floor energy in a way that’s truly rare.

Question 3

What do you wear?

Accepted Answer

I tailor my look to fit your wedding’s style and color scheme. Whether it’s formal, boho, tropical, or black-tie, I’m happy to coordinate with your vision to ensure I blend in-or stand out-exactly how you want. While I am known as the Peace Pirate, don’t be fooled by the name—it’s more about spirit than costume. I lost my left eye to cancer at age 3, and over time that journey shaped not only my outlook on life, but also my unique style. I wear an eye patch, but I don’t dress like a pirate—unless you want me to. So whether you want bold flair or subtle sophistication, I’ll dress the part to match your vibe and make the day unforgettable.

Question 4

Do you take music requests?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I love connecting with guests through music that means something to them. While I bring a high-energy, curated experience, I’m always open to requests—especially if they help light up the dance floor or hold special meaning for you and your loved ones. I’ll work with you ahead of time to understand your musical vibe, and I’m happy to blend in favorites, must-plays, or even surprise songs during the performance. Your soundtrack should reflect your love story—I'm here to help make that happen.

Question 5

Can you provide specialty, religious, or ethnic musicians?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I deeply respect and celebrate cultural, religious, and traditional expressions of music. Whether you’re looking for a specific ethnic sound, religious element, or a specialty musician to honor your heritage, I can work with you to provide the right fit. I’ve collaborated with a wide range of artists—from Latin and Middle Eastern percussionists to traditional Jewish, African, and Indian musicians. Let’s talk about what resonates with your story, and I’ll help bring that vision to life.

Question 7

What is your style?

Accepted Answer

My style is a high-vibration fusion of live percussion, soulful vocals, and DJ-driven energy—designed to move both hearts and feet. It’s where global rhythms meet dance floor anthems, where ceremony meets celebration. I blend elements of funk, Latin, soul, world beat, and electronic music to create an experience that’s both elevated and deeply connected. Think of it as rhythmic storytelling—whether it’s a romantic moment during or a full-on dance party, my style adapts to your vibe while staying true to the energy of love, unity, and joy.
