PERFECT CADENCE: DEFINING MOMENTS IN OUR KSE FAMILY

Toward the end of 2019, the Key Signature team decided to come up with a way to tell our audience about some of the great relationships we have with our musicians and how we became so close-knit. The bulk of our social media output is often focused on the event professional, although the professional musician is equally important. Check out some of these defining moments that brought us closer to the talented musicians who we consider to be a part of our Key Signature Family.

J’Michael Peeples

January 17, 2020 | Mikayla Mendels

J’Michael Peeples was one of the first Key Signature artists I saw after starting my internship with the company in May 2017. You could tell immediately that he had a true passion for music – he did everything he could to play until the last second before an insane thunderstorm hit at Romare Bearden Park. Soon after I became a full time employee at KSE, J’Michael actually moved from Columbia, SC to Charlotte because of how often we booked him here in the queen city. He understood that the relationship between Key Signature & himself as an artist was a two way street, which build a really strong foundation of trust.

From him being a go-to artist for many of our clients, to us meeting up in NoDa for a drink, to him always showing up to support us and other artists at events, we know J’Michael Peeples will always have our back. He’s a true example of what the Key Signature Family means.

April Dean of Deans’ Duets

January 24, 2020 | Mikayla Mendels

One of the reasons we have such great relationships with our clients is because we work with artists that we trust, and who we can rely on to always make sure our clients are happy.

April Dean of Deans’ Duets is a perfect example of an artist that represents this trust. We’ve thrown some crazy things at April over the last few years – from an ensemble playing between isolated columns of a balcony where her musicians couldn’t see each other, to a last minute booking where we needed a string trio to play pop music to choreographed dancing without a rehearsal. She’s always come through for us, she’s reliable, responsive, and has a great team of musicians that she works with. She even made the drive into Charlotte for our last artist meet & greet in order to continue to build a relationship with our team and the other artists we work with.

Thank you April for all you do with Key Signature!

Jennifer Siebenaler

January 31, 2020 | Brandon Crumpton
I met Jennifer Siebenaler years ago at her own birthday party. A friend of mine was friends with her now husband and somehow I got invited to celebrate with her. Now we are all friends! That night she invited me to her church. She told me she was the music director and that my friend was the drummer in the church band. She said it was a relaxed set up and very welcoming. I went and was blown away by her talent.
 
As time went by I discovered that Jen could play multiple instruments. I started to wonder, “What can’t she play?” We’ve been working together for 6 or 7 years now. Need an anthem singer….call Jen! Need solo keys and vocals….call Jen! Need dueling pianos….call Jen! The list just goes on and on.
 
The partnership got even stronger when she became an event professional on the buyer side booking other musicians. She could easily call up her own industry contacts, but she sees value in our day to day operations. She is one of the few people we work with that understands both sides of what we do here at Key Signature Entertainment, and we appreciate her for that! Thanks, Jen!
