English pop, Australian favourites and a selection of Chinese pop, all built around keyboard and vocals. Botian Ye plays Sydney events from a base in Burwood, and the set bends to the room: soft and background-friendly for dinners and cocktail hours, or more upbeat for bars and pubs. For a fuller sound there's an arranger keyboard setup, a one-person-band feel with rhythm backing under live keys and vocals. Expect songs like Perfect, All of Me, The Horses and You're the Voice. The whole rig fits in about two square metres and sets up in 10 to 25 minutes, and he's worked under council event and busking permit systems around Sydney. Public liability insurance is available, with a certificate of currency on request.

Good to know
What to expect
Keyboard and voice, played relaxed and played well. It can sit right back and stay out of the way at a dinner, a cocktail hour or a community event, or it can lift into something more upbeat for a bar or a pub. The songs come from three places: well known English pop, Australian favourites, and a selection of Chinese pop. And the energy gets read off the room, so a set at 7pm won't sound like the same set at 10pm. The rig is compact either way. He can bring his own keyboard and vocal setup, or plug into whatever the venue already has.
On the day
A performance area of about two metres by two, a standard power point, and cover from rain and weather if it's outdoors. He can bring keyboard, vocal microphone, a compact speaker or PA if needed, plus stands and cables. Setup takes somewhere between 10 and 25 minutes depending on the room. Parking or loading access nearby makes a real difference when he's carrying the full rig. For bigger venues or louder bar rooms, a house PA is better.
Set List
English pop, Australian favourites, acoustic covers and a selection of Chinese pop. On the English and Australian side you'll hear Perfect and Photograph by Ed Sheeran, Talking to the Moon and When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars, Love Yourself, All of Me, You Are the Reason, Yellow, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, What's Up, Stand by Me, The Horses, You're the Voice, Never Tear Us Apart and Counting Stars. That is a taste of it rather than the full list.
Performance options
Four ways to book him. The background set is solo piano and vocal with softer pop and acoustic covers, aimed at restaurants, cocktail hours, private dinners and quieter community events. The standard live set is keyboard and vocal with a broader mix of popular covers, Australian favourites and Chinese pop, and suits bars, hotels, pubs and casual live music nights. The one-person-band set uses his keyboard arranger to add rhythm under live keys and vocals on the upbeat songs, for venues that want a bigger sound without booking a band. And the flexible event set is built for council events, multicultural activations, markets and family events, shaped around the schedule. Performance length can run one, two or three 45 minute sets, or something custom.
