Unforgettable Piano & Singalong Experiences

Special requests? No problem.

I have about 30 years experience playing piano and keyboard in a wide variety of settings – Musical Director of musicals, keyboardist in cover bands, cocktail pianist, weddings, corporate events, and as a singalong Master of Ceremonies.

As a Piano & Vocals performer I cover a wide range of styles and eras; Beatles, ABBA, Queen, Stones, Johnny Cash, Elton John, Billy Joel, Top 40 hits, musicals, jazz standards, and more.

“Things I love about parties where Mats is playing piano: He knows every pop song ever written. He plays like a rock star – loud and fun. His music turns every gathering into a celebration because it makes people so happy.”

“Mats is a born entertainer, and one cannot help but join in the fun when he plays. I've found I lose all inhibitions and start to belt out the tunes when he plays – I'm talking about full-on shower singing. It's not just the skills on keys, it's that Mats brings the joy, and it's catching.“

Hallie Cotnam

“Mats is super skilled at all of the aspects of playing at singalong parties, with a repertoire that ranges from Christmas songs through classic to current pop songs, in a way that everyone can sing along to, and wants to sing along to. He knows the music inside and out – all the parts. The way he plays gives a HUGE amount of energy to the songs and to the room. He is inclined to play so that others can sing along and is making adjustments constantly to make this seem smooth. He has the charisma to move a room, to get everyone going, to keep up that energy – it's a remarkable set of skills and it's super rare.”

Megan Jerome

“We have been lucky enough to attend many of Mats’ piano singalong parties over the years from breast cancer fundraisers and a large birthday party in a pub to small intimate house gatherings and a neighbourhood Christmas carol get-together. All these events had a common denominator: pure joy. Mats’ parties are so much fun and every time we attend one, we leave feeling happy. To me, there is nothing better than having a glass of wine or beer with friends and belting out your favourite songs! And Mats is an absolutely brilliant and talented piano player who can play just about any tune out there – something for everyone! To quote my 12 year old son, who attended one of Mats’ piano parties: ‘Mats is a living legend!’”

“No matter what the occasion, having Mats at the piano makes the party. Whether he's playing Christmas carols, ABBA, or The Beatles, he draws a crowd and gets even the most reluctant singers belting out the tunes. It is a joy to watch and hear.“
