Thank you Albena! Your family was very lovely and inviting, I had a fun time and I’m glad to have performed for such a special occasion!
Hired Nissim to sing while I proposed to my girlfriend! He did a great job and while prepping for the song he took feedback well and in the end the song came out amazing. Nissim was professional, easy to work with, and his efforts brought so much to the experience.

What to Expect
Solo vs Band:
I can perform as an acoustic act (acoustic guitar and non-mic'd vocals) OR with an electric guitar, mic'd vocals and guitar effects pedal.
As a band act, we have the choice of performing as a standard 3-piece band (guitar/vocals, bass, drums), with the option of adding up to 3 additional musicians. E.g violin, cello, horns, in the case where it suits the ambiance of the event. We usually perform with a string trio (violin, viola, cello) and will suggest that unless there are budget constraints.
Music Choice:
I come with music prepared, clients may request specific songs beforehand or a specific genre. Original music can also be mixed in if requested.
Provided Equipment:
In the case that there are amplification needs, the venue must have a PA system. I can provide my own mic, stand, and cables.
