Opeyemi is an amazing talent! He played for our residents and guests at our assisted living and everyone had a great time! It was truly entertaining and he read the room very well, playing familiar music. It is clear that he enjoys his work and has honed his craft. Louis Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and so much more. He is now booked monthly with us.

Ope was immediately responsive to my request. He is more than just a keyboardist, he works with other artists which was such a benefit.
