James Wood Musician

Hi there! It's James here - and thanks so much for checking out my listing. In short, I'm a singer and pianist here to fulfil your musical needs, whether they be upbeat, romantic or relaxed. I've got a wide vocal range and an extensive repertoire to fit any occasion. I'm based in East Yorkshire/Northern Lincolnshire but happy to travel to you.

It's hard to get across what you do in a few words, but I'll do my best to explain what it is I do, and why it's perfect for your event! It's easy to see a piano and think that I'll just be playing Mozart - which is not really my niche. I'm a pop pianist, which means I'm singing all your classic covers (from the 1950s to the present day) but accompanied by a piano rather than an acoustic guitar. Think Elton John or Billy Joel - but covering a whole range of tunes!

Sometimes you might not know what you want in terms of your music. You just know you want music. And that's fine! I've performed at countless events over a professional career spanning nearly 10 years. That means; weddings, parties, pub gigs, theatre shows, restaurants, festivals and a few other things I've probably forgotten - I've covered it! That's given me an acute understanding of what people generally like and what sort of stuff gets people going. An understanding of the occasion is key to the occasion.

Sometimes you know exactly what you want. That perfect first dance on your wedding day, or a specific list of tunes that's the soundtrack to your party. And that's great too, you can pick from my list of songs! If it's not on there, I'm happy to learn a few songs to make sure your event is just what you dreamed it would be. In other words, we'll work together to make sure you're happy you know what you're getting, and when you get it, you love it!
