James' Reviews

5 out of 5

James is a super talented and charismatic performer who brought energy to an intimate gathering we hosted to celebrate a milestone family birthday. His song choices were perfect catering to a wide range of tastes and ages in the family! His approach of using a looper and keyboard and his song interpretations made for a unique and unforgettable experience. We have already recommended him and hope he can perform at another event we host or attend soon!

James was amazing at my daughter’s wedding dinner. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed his performance. They got up to dance to his performance and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. He was also very easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire James again and would definitely recommend him.

James was absolutely fantastic at our wedding ceremony and post-reception drinks. His voice and talent is second to none and communication was great. James was also happy to learn a song requested by us (being our ceremony procession song). The feedback from our guests was super positive. Highly recommend James! Thanks for making our wedding a memorable day!

James was AMAZING! He was super flexible with ever-changing performance times. The crowd was really tough but within a few minutes he had everyone swaying and enjoying the music. An incredibly talented and amazing musician + lovely guy. Couldn't recommend more.
