About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
Hello!
My name is Kiyoko Layne. I am a classically trained pianist originally from Kyoto, Japan. I majored in Jazz Composition at the Berklee College of Music and have been working as a jazz musician in New York City for over 15 years.
I am available to play at weddings, nursing homes, private parties, corporate events, festivals and more!
I work as a solo pianist and as a Duo, Trio, Quartet, Quintet and more. I have worked with hundreds of musicians in my career and enjoy being a band leader as well as a team player.
I specialize in Jazz and love to play other styles including Classical, Latin, Pop, R&B and more!
It is important to me that my clients feel comfortable with the planning process, happy the day of the event and that the music I provide helps create unforgettable memories that they will treasure for a lifetime!

Review by Courtney S.
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on February 18, 2024•From Bedford, NY
Kiyoko played at our weddings cocktail hour and reception and was absolutely phenomenal. We explained the vibe we were looking for and told her where and when to show up and she did the rest! And when she showed up, she brought exceptional talent and a breadthy repertoire with her that really brought our event to the next level. We would absolutely recommend Kiyoko for anyone looking for a jazz pianist for any type of event!
Kiyoko Layne:
Hi Courtney, I am delighted to have had the beautiful opportunity of playing music for your Wedding Day. Thank you so much for trusting me to be a part of your special day. I am so happy that you and your loved ones enjoyed the music. You are a beautiful couple and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Congratulations! Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity! KiyokoAwards & Badges
