I'm going to start this review with saying Ivan is awesome!!!!! During the whole process he was the sweetest person and it was a pleasure working with him. He learned songs for our wedding that he never played before and he was at great guy from the very first phone call. He's not just a musician he's an artist with his music and his songwriting. He does his from his heart and you can see and hear it. It meant a lot to us. He came extra early to set up and he wore a tuxedo. I will definitely hire him without even a second thought and highly recommend him. THANK YOU IVAN from the bottom of our hearts Jim and Carol 💗

Ivan was great! He was super friendly and helpful. We had a minor logistical problem and he helped solve it (took a lot of pressure off of me, and made me look good!) His music was elegant-perfect for the event! I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks, Ivan!

Ivan was excellent! He came early to set up and scope out the venue and stayed late to chat with some of the guests and even played a few more tunes for them. Some of my friends who are musicians were impressed by his knowledge, talent and repertoire. Highly recommended. We will reach out to him for our next soiree.

Ivan was simply wonderful. Altho he had suffered a back sprain earlier in the week, he refused to cancel out on me. He soldiered on and was set up and playing even before the event began, while my guests were arriving. A keyboardist/singer like Ivan is, in my opinion, so much classier than a DJ. Since my guests were predominantly middle age or older, I didn't want blaring, ear-shattering music from a DJ that would impede conversations by the guests. (This event was also something of a family reunion, so guests knew each other and wanted to catch up on events.) Ivan's music was perfect for that: contemporary pop music and love ballads, conducive for dancing. He's the ultimate professional and a lovely guy. Very classy! I highly recommend. Five stars!

We were very lucky to have Ivan perform for a recent family gathering. He played beautifully. He was also a consummate professional: he was very responsive to our initial inquiry. He followed-up to confirm all the details of the event. And he was flexible and gracious and he made sure that we got the most out of his participation - he took requests, sometimes he played beautifully in the background and sometimes he accompanied guests for sing-a-longs. He took his cues from us for how we wanted the enjoy the time that he played and it made for a wonderful event. Most importantly, he was very kind and patient and engaging with guests of all ages and abilities.
