I recently got married to my beautiful wife, Perel. Shortly after we moved to Surfside, FL, and I began my music business, namely, Music By Mendy. I’ve been learning piano with my teacher, Richard Samuels, since I was in third grade.
Initially, I began performing at events a year or so before I got married when I lived in Brooklyn. I took gigs in the area, I’ve taught some beginner students, and produced quite a few tracks with my vocalist friends. Upon my arrival to Florida, with the help of g-d and my wife, I decided to take my music business to a whole new level. I play the piano, Keyboard and I DJ too. I’ve performed at weddings, Bar and Bas Mitzvahs, Henna Parties, Private Parties, Restaurants, and more.
I can’t wait to enhance your event with my music.
