Piano Man is in the set, and so is Crocodile Rock, but Dinash Daniel doesn't stop at the Billy Joel and Elton John end. Motown and soul run deep through the list: My Girl, Ain't No Sunshine, Stand By Me, Purple Rain, three or four Lionel Richie numbers. Then Beatles, Sinatra, Queen, and a reggae and dance streak that lifts the back half of a night. He plays keys and sings, having worked venues in Melbourne and Sydney, and travels between the two regularly. Portable piano and a proper PA come with him, with lights included. A mobile DJ desk can be added to the performance for an extra cost if you want music running past the live set. Melbourne based.
Watch Dinash Daniel perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

He plays keys and sings at the same time, which means the piano and the vocal are both live and there's nobody else to carry the room. Dinash has worked venues in both Melbourne and Sydney, so he's used to reading a crowd he's never met. The style is warm and energetic rather than background, and the set builds as the night goes. Motown and soul do a lot of the lifting, and the reggae and dance material tends to arrive later once people are up.
A portable piano and a proper PA both come with him, along with the lighting, so the venue doesn't need its own system to make this work. What he'll want from you is power and enough floor for the keyboard and speakers. If a DJ desk is being added on top of the live set, mention that early, because it's more gear and it wants a little more room.
The live performance is the core of it: piano, vocals, PA and lights all provided. A Roland stage piano is what he plays. The one add-on worth knowing about is a mobile DJ desk with a DJ, which sits alongside the live set so the music keeps running once he steps away from the keys. Weddings and longer functions are where that combination earns its place.
