The finest holiday carolers in New York.
About the New York Holiday Singers
The New York Holiday Singers are a contemporary & standard Christmas caroling ensemble in NYC. My wife and I started this business in 2008, we started booking events in 2009, and we had a fantastic season in 2010.

What Do I Do?
- Music: I create all of the original arrangements for the group, adapt non-original arrangements, and rehearse the ensemble—about 62 original arrangements in a total of 12 months. I recorded, mixed & mastered our album, Sing We Joyous. I sing bass, baritone, and tenor.
- Creative:
In addition, I do all of the identity
& logo design for NYHS. I created, designed & self-printed the "NYHS Sing-Along
Songbooks", full-color multipage center-bound songbooks that are a pioneering effort
in the holiday caroling business, to fill a want our customers had for attractive
& professional ways to involve children & other guests in the entertainment,
as well as all forms, stationery, business cards, motion graphics and etc. I designed
all of our product packaging and album assets. I edited all of the NYHS photos. - Technical: I created the NYHS website, as well as performing organic SEO activities for it, resulting in a year-over increase in traffic of over 1100%, and a doubling of our booking. I manage the store & fulfillment. I also implemented a private site where our singers can download PDFs and MP3s of the NYHS music for rehearsal, fully-automated (updates when I upload new content) and secure.
- Marketing & Social Media: Not enough? I also manage our marketing activities. I keep tabs on online analytics regarding our reach and execute A/B testing on optimizations. I handle our message on Facebook, Twitter, and other social sites, edit the videos for YouTube including the creation of the motion graphics.
In short, if it doesn't have to do with money or writing the actual proposals/contracts, I handle it.
