If a singer sings, and no one is in the audience, is there a sound?

The thing is, I'm not Diana Krall.

I'm not even any sort of celebrity; just an escaped lawyer who got the music "bug".

I've performed in my home city; that's all.

So why will anyone come to my concert in Rio, when I'm completely unknown there?

Yes, I have done a reality check by asking myself this question.  And my answer is - because I'll do it for a charity, and people will come to support the charity.

I've already approached a charity in Rio that has been recommended to me, and in principle they're happy to be associated with my event.  But I have to keep the name of this charity under wraps for the moment, because my proposal has to be approved by their Board (which I will request when I've made some arrangements and we are closer to the date).

I need a venue - but what size of venue should I look for?  What if hundreds of people want to come?

What if no one comes?  No, don't think about that.

There are quite a few logistical things to consider - arranging an event from so far away, in a place where I don't know anyone, is a challenge.

But I have to believe that people will come, and that they will enjoy the show.

You can watch me in concert here
