The Conference Troubadour
Custom songs that tell the story of your event and leave your audience singing the same tune.
I got my start in this business singing recap songs for the TEDMED conference back in 2011.
Since then, I’ve performed at conferences all around the world. I produce a whole variety of song related content for meetings.
THE RECAP SONG
You’ve heard of sketch notes? This is like that, but with music. It works best at a single track conference. By the end of the day I have a short song ready, complete with a catchy chorus to get everyone singing along.
COLLAB-A-SONG
If your event is multi-track, a really good choice is the Collab-A-Song. I bring a chorus based ideas & concerns that are top of mind for your audience. Then, I solicit words and phrases from your audience as a way to finish the song. I play the final song at the end of the day, and everyone sings along.
TWEET SONG
If you're audience is made up of Twitter-obsessives - or if you want to boost your social engagement - I present, the Tweet Song. I watch your event hashtag like a hawk and turn everyone's tweets into an original song.
UNIQUE EVENT VIDEOS
There's a wide variety of different kinds of videos I can make for your event. Here's a few.
ATTENDEE REMIX
I'll walk around your conference and get attendees to say one word into the camera that best describes how they feel about your event. Then I turn their words into a catchy song with video.
VIDEOGRAPHER COLLAB
I use footage that your existing videographer shoots to create a one-of-a-kind music video that showcases the true uniqueness of your event.
RECAP VIDEO
Similar to my recap song, it's a singing sketch notes version of your event, in a form that your attendees can easily share on social media. Plus, dancing.
SPEAKING
Using my background of writing a song a day, and through funny, moving and heartfelt stories, I speak on creativity. Each performance I give is accompanied by a short keynote presentation about why I believe that daily creativity is a great way to unlock your full potential.
BOOK ME
Email me directly, or fill out the form. I'm super easy to get a hold of, and I'll write you back as soon as possible.
