Jesska In Concert (2005) – Live Easy Listening Piano & Vocals

This video captures a special moment early in my music career. I began my career performing with Jesska in 2002, accompanying her at restaurants.

This live concert was recorded at her album launch on 20th November, 2005. It features excerpts of the songs I performed during the concert, which began with a short solo piano set before I accompanied Jess for parts of the rest of the show — a relaxed piano and vocals performance in an easy listening style, featuring classic songs by Elton John, Elvis Presley, Bette Midler, and Patsy Cline, along with favourites from musical theatre and film.

This is the earliest footage I have of myself performing live on piano, and it means a lot to be able to share it here.
