Samuel Marks
Katie’s Solo. After studying at Berklee College of Music I have spent the last 10 years working as a full time singer pianist. I specialise in high energy engaging shows where the audience requests the songs throughout. My repertoire is extensive and diverse. From Elton John to Sean Paul, Barry Manilow to Metallica, John Denver to Rihanna. All prepared to high musical standard and ready on request. As an experienced singer and pianist I tailor the choices of which songs and how to perform them to the room I am working. I am as comfortable providing elegant background music as I am getting a crowd singing and dancing. I also have good professional experience on drums, bass and guitar.
