Phenomenal, Professional and Charismatic Performer

James was the perfect addition to our get together! James has a beautiful voice and customized his play list based on the group's preferences and requests. James even accommodated all last minute changes on our end, and was flexible with scheduling. James was extremely prompt, and brought everything he needed to the event, we didn't have to provide a single thing. It was a really special event and night our family will never forget.

Awesome performance

We hired James for an end of season dinner party at our condo building. 60s themed party, everyone loved the entertainment. James communicated to me throughout the booking, reasonably priced and [did] a great job! Highly recommend him.

Perfect Entertainment

James entertained us at a birthday party. He was punctual, personable, flexible, and well-prepared for the occasion. Received many comments on my choice. Will hire James again and recommend him strongly to anyone who seeks well-curated music.
