About

Make your celebration unforgettable with a live performance filled with timeless pop favourites, rock classics, and feel‑good tunes. Giovanni has performed at hundreds of events, parties, and weddings across London and brings a setlist of over 150 songs — from Queen, Oasis, Bryan Adams, U2, George Michael, David Bowie, Coldplay, Johnny Cash, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones, to modern hits by Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars.

He loves interacting with audiences, encouraging singalongs, and creating a lively, joyful atmosphere. Giovanni takes requests whenever possible and tailors each performance to match the energy of the day — whether that means elegant background music or uplifting crowd‑pleasers your guests will adore.

Weddings, receptions, private serenades, surprise proposals, and “she‑said‑yes” celebrations are among his favourite moments to perform for. He's flexible, easy‑going, and committed to making every special day truly unforgettable.

Giovanni needs just 15 minutes to set up and is happy to perform both indoors and outdoors. He has even surprised couples in the park with their favourite songs (booked in advance, of course) and once played under a gazebo in the rain when the weather turned unexpectedly.

If you have something unique in mind, he’s always open to making it happen. Whether it’s a special song or an unusual idea, he’ll do everything he can to bring your vision to life.

He provides all his own equipment and typically only needs access to a power socket. Sound is included, though he does not supply lighting. Information about parking at the venue is appreciated.

Between sets, Giovanni can play music from Spotify, either selecting the playlist himself or using one you provide, ensuring the atmosphere stays vibrant throughout your event.

Such a fun night

Helped make our special day so much more special! Was polite, on time and played songs that were meaningful to us and our families. The guests loved him and even joined in singing at one point. He's so flexible and such a nice fellow. Happy memories.

Fantastic way to propose

Booked Giovanni to play our special song when I proposed to my long-term girlfriend (now fiancee) last summer. He even learned our special song (Count on Me - Bruno Mars) just for the serenade. We'd agreed that Gio would show up as we were entering a restaurant and start playing our song. I'd get down on my knee and pop the question. It started drizzling and we were running late but he was such a sport about it all. Everything went to plan and we had the most magical evening. Lovely guy and first-class musician. Already booked for our wedding later this year.

Amazing energy

Giovanni was amazing from the moment we booked the event right up until the event was over! He communicated professionally and effectively, made sure he was able to meet all of the requirements for the party. When Giovanni arrived, he fit right into the party like we had known him for years! He sang perfectly, brought perfect energy to the party and encouraged guests to join in and use the microphone. Giovanni kept up with all the laughs and jokes at the party . I would have Giovanni back to any future events and would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much!
