I booked James to do a private house party. Before the event, he sent me his extensive playlist and I was able to request songs. He also made recommendations on songs based on the age group of the people attending the party. James arrived on time, started on time and performed very well. After he got a feel for what the audience wanted, he adjusted the playlist. Having James perform was a big hit. People said it was the best house party they had ever attended. Thanks James!
