Live and Unplugged
Classical Fusion, Solo Piano & Collaborative Sessions
Unplugged. Authentic. Alive.
I am a musician crafting soulful, atmospheric soundscapes that bridge classical elegance and Celtic tradition. My music breathes life into quiet corners, bustling streets, and festival stages, creating authentic, unplugged moments that connect and set the rhythm for the crowd. I don’t just play notes; I play for the moment, inviting the wild.
Marcel | Multi-Instrumental Maestro
Where Classical Precision Meets Celtic Soul
My musical world opened at age five with classical piano and violin, building a foundation of discipline. But in 2007, a discovery of Celtic music shifted the rhythm. I traded sheet music for my ears, teaching myself fiddle, tin whistle, and bodhrán to translate the soul of the tune instantly.
Today, I am a chameleon.
Because I know the repertoire across genres, picking up a new instrument isn’t about starting from scratch—it’s about applying a lifetime of musical intuition to a new voice. Whether on the piano, fiddle, or the Great Highland Bagpipes (currently in progress), I can learn a tune in hours, not weeks.
The Dancer’s Advantage: Being a professional Irish, Highland, and Sean‑Nós dancer since 2013 gives me an innate sense of groove. I don’t just play notes; I feel the floor. This allows me to improvise seamlessly with live bands, adjusting my playing to match the room’s energy in real-time.
The Sound: From the cinematic elegance of Richard Clayderman and Enya to the fiery reels of Celtic tradition and modern fusion, my style is as wide as my instrument list.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
Also a traditional Irish, Highland, and Sean‑Nós dancer—See me dance at
A classically trained pianist and violinist turned Irish multi-instrumentalist. I bring 15+ years of musical theory and self-taught mastery (fiddle, whistle, bodhrán) to every session. My unique background allows me to switch instruments instantly, fill any harmonic gap, and improvise with the same rhythmic precision I use in my dance.
Session Experience & Cross-Training
Marching with the Bagpipes: 2024 St. Patrick’s Day Parade (Royal Oak)
Performing solo Great Highland Bagpipes in a live parade setting required endurance and precision. This gig highlighted my ability to project sound and maintain rhythm while moving through a crowd.
Residency at Old City Hall
A standing weekly gig playing background music. This role honed my skills in reading a room, adjusting volume and tempo to match the dining atmosphere, and curating sets that blend classical, Celtic, and soft fusion.
Live Band Collaborations
Occasional performances with local bands, specializing in live improvisation. Whether playing fiddle, piano, or bodhran, I adapt instantly to the band's energy, filling the gaps and driving the rhythm.
