Chanese was incredible in every way!!! I booked Chanese for a corporate event after a friend heard her sing and raved about her. Her professionalism and communication throughout the booking and planning process was elite. But the actual performance blew our minds!! She had the dance floor packed at our corporate event, which I never expected, and guests were utterly impressed with her talents. Would and will book Chanese again in a heartbeat.
Chanese played at my buddy's proposal in Central. She was easy to communicate with, in time and all around improved the occasion. Chanese is a beautiful person and a very talented artist. She even put an extra effort into learning a new song, which was a wish of my friend. Her singing and playing is not only pleasant to listen but she has also a feeling for the environment/vibes around her and she can match it perfectly. I would hire Chanese again.

My family and I love Chanese. She was very professional. I will definitely book her again. Thank you for making my sister's birthday memorable.

Response from Chanese Elifé:
Thank you so much Kristen for this review and again for having me! It was an honor to entertain at the Birkenstock event.
would hire her again for sure! such a talent
Chanese is a talented guitarist and singer with a really soulful and beautiful voice. I hired her for 2 hours to perform some of her repertoire. I planned a small family gathering of 8 people for my wife’s first mother’s day and the music was perfect. She can really read the room and everything she played was wonderful. She is professional, warm soul and creates a positive and enjoyable vibe for people of all ages, from my mom and in laws, a younger couple, as well as my 10 month old daughter who was so lucky to see her first live performance on this occasion. We all had a blast and my neighbors texted saying they were in love with the voice and music of the musician we had playing and wanted her contact info. Im so pleased with the quality, price and overall experience and will definitely book again for future occasions.

You can expect an incomparable live experience with a 20 year veteran. Chanese has mastered the art of the quick set-up and is brilliant at “reading the room.” You and your guests will be at ease in the good hands of an expert entertainer who loves what she does and loves people.
