Whether you want subtle background music or a beautiful meaningful song for your first dance, Arthur will provide you with professional, high quality service.
Arthur killed it — professional, kind, reliable and super easy to work with. He did a fabulous job on our procession and recession songs which were special requests, plus played a great selection of songs for the few hours we had him. Thank you Arthur!!
Arthur played our wedding ceremony on July 28, 2018. We gave him a list of somewhat obscure songs and he learned the ones he hadn’t known to perfection. We had so many wonderful comments from our guests as to how incredible he was. He did an amazing job.
Arthur put in a lot of prep for our big day and played a number of alternative songs by request.
Arthur did an amazing job for our event
We hired Arthur to play for our wedding ceremony and couldn’t be more impressed! He was professional, on time, and had a lovely personality that was incredibly easy to work with. He was willing and able to beautifully arrange specific song requests exactly to the style we were looking for. He also played and sang a wonderful selection of songs as our guests arrived and departed that couldn’t have been better if I had hand picked them myself. He was able to understand and deliver our tastes and do it beautifully! All our guests commented on how talented both his guitar and vocals were, and how magical he made our ceremony. I simply can not explain how pleased and impressed we were with Arthur! Our guests kept saying “we just fell in love with him!” and “his voice and sound was pure magic” and we could not agree more! Do not hesitate to hire, or at least inquire about this very talented young professional.

Your talents Arthur certainly were God gifted and we are so appreciative that you shared your music and talents with our congregation and guests. God's Blessings in all your future endeavors.
Arthur played for a product introduction event. It was a simple set up and show and I chose Arthur because of the style of music he played but more importantly, there's a sincerity in his voice.
During the lead up to this, he was professional and easy to work with; basically he made the whole process easy.
The event went great, Arthur was more than generous with his time, a great person and musician. Only wish I had more time to get to know him.
Easily recommended.
We hired Arthur to perform at the funeral service for my father-in-law. We were very pleased with the quality of the performance, the vocals and his talent on the keyboard. We found him very to easy to work with. He was responsive in a short time frame and very flexible to meet our requests. We received many compliments from our guests and we highly recommend Arthur for your event.
I highly recommend Arthur for any event. We used him for our Christmas party and he was a huge hit! He has a great voice and is a true professional!!
Arthur traveled about 2 hours for our Christmas Party and you wouldn’t have known it. He was very punctual, very prepared and super professional.
I would recommend him for your event!
My father had passed away and we were in need of both a singer and keyboard player to honor him at his funeral service. We found Arthur through gig salad, I was a little concerned not having heard him before but I liked what I heard on his demo files. Arthur was extremely responsive. He was available on short notice. He showed up early. And he did a phenomenal job performing at the service. I would highly recommend Arthur to anyone.
I hired Arthur for my wife's 40th birthday party. I gave him a few of her favorite songs and he put together a one hour playlist that was perfect! He is an amazing singer and guitar player and his original music is really good. My wife and her friends were blown away by his talent. He was very professional and easy to work with. I will definitely be hiring him again and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you sincerely for the most unique, special performance that made my engagement proposal everything I hoped for. Your communication throughout the entire process was always prompt and professional. Singing my fiancée’s favorite song so well and your amazing performance was just unreal. Thank you again and god bless!
