Biography

If you both love your music and are looking to fill your big day with unique acoustic versions of all your favourite indie, alternative, folk and rock songs - but still want enough classic pop and golden oldies to keep relatives of all ages happy - then TJ is the wedding singer for you!

Based in Brighton, Sussex, but available to hire for weddings across the rest of the UK, TJ is a solo singer and guitarist offering beautiful, laid-back acoustic music for your big day that’s a little different to your average wedding singer.

With live music packages to cover all of your daytime wedding needs – Ceremony, Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast, Turnaround and First Dance – TJ is more than happy to slip into even the most unconventional of wedding plans.

He boasts a colossal and ever-growing repertoire packed full of songs he loves, spanning seven decades and covering a number of genres. The tunes are all sung and played in his distinctive indie-folk style, on acoustic guitar with the occasional ukulele and harmonica.

TJ wants the music he performs to echo your personalities and unique bond, so he offers a bespoke service to all couples – as tailored to your tastes as you want it to be – and will work with you to create the perfect soundtrack to your special day!

And last but not least, TJ also loves learning new songs, so free off-repertoire requests are included as part of every one of his wedding packages.
