Ben is great. His singing is spot on. He has a great voice and sings different styles of music. He’s very personable and I have nothing but praise for this man. So if you’re looking for a singer don’t look any further you found the one you’re looking for with Ben

Ben played at our anniversary party this weekend and was wonderful! His music was beautiful and perfect for our party - both relaxed and elegant. I would hire Ben again, would recommend him to friends, and would very happily go hear him play at a local bar or restaurant. Ben delivered exactly as promised and was very easy to work with. All the audio sounded great through his sound system. We chose music for him to play from his large song list, and then in between his sets he played a spotify list of our favorites. We also used his microphone for our vow renewal ceremony and he was extremely flexible during setup to make sure the events looked and sounded their best. He is a professional who will be a delight for you and your guests!

Ben played at my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary party and was amazing! He has a wide range of music and played a great mix of oldies/classics, 80’s, 90’s, and today’s hits. He setup well ahead of the start time, and played for the entire 3 hour party! There were lots of compliments from our guests on his performance. Highly recommend him for your music entertainment needs!

Ben helped me to craft the perfect proposal for my fiancé. He created a unique rendition of an old song at the last minute. He was punctual and communicated effectively. I strongly recommend his services.

Ben was excellent!! His music perfectly suited our cocktail reception. He was kind, and punctual, and brought all the equipment needed to perfectly compliment the atmosphere. Several guests also complimented him and loved the added environment to our cocktail time. He also was incredibly flexible after the initial booking after I found out I would require his assistance for 2 hours instead of the original 1. And he was flexible with payment options that best suited our company as well - which was a huge benefit for us.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer competitive/reasonable prices and flexibility based on your needs and your budget. I provide straightforward and honest quotes. No hidden fees or surprises.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Please feel free to reach out to me via email, text, phone, messenger, etc. with any questions or requests for more information. I look forward to connecting with you!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began sharing the gift of live music early on in my life in church with my parents and four brothers. Then, through grade school and middle school I was involved in various choirs, and I'm sure those experiences contributed to my attention on vocals. I added the guitar in high school and quickly grew to enjoy writing and performing music. And, to this day I continually look forward to sharing my music and connecting with people in all kinds of settings.
