We were so lucky to have Mike play during our wedding ceremony! From the moment we connected, he was incredibly responsive and accommodating, working with me for months to curate the perfect playlist. He went above and beyond by learning new songs, trimming pieces to fit key moments, and even performing a beautiful, obscure melody from a video game that was special to my husband. He was there early to set up and was just on it with every detail needed for a perfect performance.The music was flawless and added so much heart to the ceremony. It’s everything we dreamed of.Our guests are still talking about it! I can’t recommend Mike enough—professional, talented, and a true joy to work with. Thank you so much for making our day special.

Mike = Vibes. Period. okay, so I’ve been to *plenty* of birthday parties, and usually, live music is just kinda… there. but he made the whole night feel *elevated*. people actually stopped chatting to listen. he just *gets* the vibe. every song felt perfectly picked for the moment, shifting seamlessly from chill background music to full-on “OMG, this is amazing” energy. it never felt forced—just effortless and cool. highly recommend!

I’ve been to plenty of cocktail hours where the music fades into the background—pleasant, but never the focus. That was not the case with Mike. The moment he started playing, people actually stopped their conversations to listen. His performance had this magnetic quality—elegant, dynamic, and completely engaging. What really stood out was his ability to set the perfect mood. He didn’t just play—he read the room, adjusting seamlessly between upbeat, lively pieces and more intimate, soulful moments. It was clear he wasn’t just providing background music; he was creating an experience. If you want music that elevates your event rather than just filling the silence, Mike is the one to book.
