Kathy, Thank you for having me perform for your birthday! Yes we had an awesome time. Your associates / family / and friends were kind and grooving to the music and the kiddos were observing and watching me play. Your cake was especially flavorful like it was home-made. It was a beautiful day. I look forward to performing another event with you. Mahalo!
Bruddah Vince was great as always. His sound and performance were perfect. We will continue to have him play for us. He is the best!

Bruddah Vince played at my Tiki Bar for Mother's Day. His music was the perfect touch to make the day extra special. Sound was perfect! We are going to have him back consistently.

Jen, Thank you very much for the opportunity to play for all the mothers and families in attendance .
I had a blast! It was so fun and your patrons were generous and receptive. I actually met a few
fellow expatriates from the Islands. I hope to perform for you folks again at some point in the future. Mahalo!
Bruddah Vince is the absolute BEST! We booked him for my father-in-law’s memorial service. My father-in-law passed from cancer before he could make it out to his first trip ever to Hawaii. So, we wanted to bring the beauty of the islands to his service. And boy, did Bruddah Vince do just that! Stellar performance throughout! And he was so accommodating! I had pre-selected songs for the service. He went out of his way to learn the songs and even performed them with so much feeling and emotion. He had the entire congregation in tears!
Bruddah Vince, thank you again for bringing so much happiness to a very sad event. You helped us envision our dad finally resting in paradise. Thank you for doing what you do!

Response from Island Stylin' with Bruddah Vince:
Aloha Jyll, You're very welcome! I admit it was challenging not getting too emotional
with your song choices while performing these selections. I even got a little teary-eyed. Even the minister was surprised at the selections. Everyone was so kind and asked for business cards. I really enjoyed playing for you and your loved ones and I hope to play for you folks again at some point in the future. Mahalo Nui Loa, Jyll!
He brought our event to life with his outstanding performance and made it a night to remember for a long time. We could not have been more impressed with the work he did from showing up early to get an idea of the event to the amazing songs and ukulele playing he did. I would highly recommend Vince to perform at your next event! -

Cathleen, your hospitality and generosity are unmatched. Thank you very much for letting me perform for all of your associates, clients, and friends. Everyone was kind and receptive which really set the tone for me to get to work and intuitively select songs that people connected with including the toddlers and mothers. I can't wait to get back to work at your next event! 🌴🌺🙏🏻
We had Vince performer at our festival, and he is an excellent performer and businessman. The crowd loved his performance, and his setup was so quick and easy. Would recommend to anyone needing a performer for their event!

Bianca, Thank you kindly for your attentiveness and hospitality throughout the event. Everything from bringing water to accommodating the parking validation and well wishes upon my departure. I enjoyed playing for you and your network of business associates at Roy's I'd love to play for you folks again. Aloha & A Hui Hou!
It’s as if I IZ was playing at our event (as so many guest told us afterwards). Vince even learned a new song just for us, Ahi Wela/Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by IZ, and sang it so amazingly! He was the main attraction and what brought our Baby Shower together! I can’t thank him enough for what an amazing job he did!!🫶🤙👏👏👏

Yourself, Joanna & Melia are an inspiration and I'm excited for your family's future. You are blessed and may you continue to always be the same. Mahalo Nui Loa!
We hired Bruddah Vince for our baby shower this past weekend and he did an amazing job. He has a long list of songs in his repertoire and we were able to select all of our favorite ones. Excellent communicator and super friendly, we would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thanks Bruddah Vince.

Justin, Thank you kindly for all the logistical information provided. It made things go smoothly. The faculty was really friendly and I kept receiving compliments from the teachers. What a wonderful bunch! I noticed you were in high gear with prep work so I did my best to be as autonomous as possible with minimal questions once we were on-site. I'd be delighted to play for you folks again for another event. Aloha!
Bruddah Vince is a humble individual whose musical talent brings a touch of paradise to our Hawaiian restaurant! His chill melodies transport diners to the islands, creating an unforgettable dining experience. We've had the pleasure of hosting Vince regularly, and his harmonious tunes never fail to enhance the ambiance.

Kai, Big mahalo to you and your team. You folks are the trailblazers where delectable Hawaiian food and excellent customer service converge. I'm always seeing new & different entrees where you also add spins on your bakery / desserts, taking your creativity to soaring heights. Thank you for hosting me at your wonderful gem of a restaurant, I am truly honored. A Hui Hou!
Bruddah played at my mother's memorial service the other day and he was absolutely superb. Besides arriving an hour before the start, he was willing to make some additions to songs to play the night before. But most importantly, the playing was superb, clear, and with his amplifier equipment was highly professional. His playing and singing of the Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World medley along with others such as Beautiful Kauai, Aloha 'Oe and other traditional Hawaiian songs was top notch. I cannot recommend anyone more highly as Bruddah to play at an event!

Response from Island Stylin' with Bruddah Vince:
Nathan, I'm so glad you enjoyed the music and the efforts to make the memorial service a memorable event. The testimonies of the speakers were very touching and painted a beautiful picture of your mothers character. It was a beautiful and sunny day and I'll remember the fellowship of your loved ones coming together to celebrate her memories. Aloha and Hui Hou!
Working with Bruddah Vince was easy and he was well prepared with all the correct equipment. He plays all the best Hawaiian tunes and more.

Response from Island Stylin' with Bruddah Vince:
Allison, I appreciated the requests made by your family and friends and was glad to accommodate them. The turnout was great, the activities you had for the keiki were engaging and the Ube Horchata was absolutely delicious! I look forward to another performance for you folks. It would be a pleasure! See you next time. Aloha!
I contacted Bruddah Vince just a few days before our retirement party at a large estate in Beverly Hills, when another performer I had originally hired dropped out at the last minute. What could have been a disaster turned out to be a blessing, as Bruddah Vince was extremely easy, professional, and pleasant to work with, and he provided the perfect vibes we were seeking. His dreamy voice, expert ukulele playing, and great song selection added so much beauty to our night. We all felt transported to the islands for a few hours, and the party would not have been the same without him. He was very agreeable to every request, including taking a Covid test upon arrival, which we really appreciated since some of our guests are high risk.

I can't recommend Vince enough. I hired Vince to celebrate my 13 year old daughters life. Everybody was highly impressed by Vince. If you are looking for a traditional Hawaiian ukulele or guitar player for your next event, don't hesitate in booking Vince. A1 *****

Bruddah Vince is a talented musician that brought the Hawaiian islands to our event with his delightful presentation. His punctuality and friendliness brought a sense of ease to our event that meshed well with our relaxed ALOHA atmosphere. Our guests (many of them from Hawai’i) throughly enjoyed his sounds, his voice and his music selections. It was a truly a memorable and entertaining experience.

You can expect to see and hear me sing and play my acoustic guitar and/or ukulele. My specialty includes Island music (contemporary & popular hits from Hawaii) and Hawaiian (language) music.

About
Originally from O'ahu, Hawaii (Born in Waikiki), I've been living in Southern California for over 20 years and have been playing music for over 30 years. I've previously played in a band and love the Solo performer experience. Playing Island music & Hawaiian music on my guitar & ukulele takes me back to the Islands with every performance. People have shared with me that "I bring the Islands to them". I feel that performing music is my calling while I pursue my degree in 'Music Therapy'. I'd love to make your event a memorable one.
