It was great to have Gbaladun at my party. He brightened our evening with good music and a warm atmosphere. My guest loved his performance and enjoyed listening to many wonderful jazz songs he played. Highly recommended.

We hired Ope for a ladies’ night piano singalong in my home. He showed up on time, he had prepared so many songs from the list that I sent him, and was an amazing talent. He was kind and open to requests, too. Prior to the event, Ope was very responsive to make sure that we were aligned with how the evening would go.
I would and will absolutely hire him again with no hesitation. It was one of the best events I’ve hosted in a long time!

Gbaladan was great as solo pianist for my elopement. He was professional and the music sounded lovely. We had a special request for the bridal procession, which he nailed. Don’t hesitate to hire him for your event.

Ope was the best find on Thumbtack! He played at our dad’s 75th bday and everyone was so impressed! He had a huge playlist but was also able to improvise! He stayed an extra hour and played along with my son who was on the guitar! He accompanied him beautifully with no prior knowledge of the song! It was an amazing night that went from enjoying his music in the background to a full on sing along! We will definitely call on him again!
