My sound is a blend of mostly soul with traces of folk and R&B music. My musical setlist is pretty wide-ranging since I perform often in front of diverse audiences. My percussive style of play combined with souful vocals make for a truly unique and unheard of experience that will leave you pleasantly surprised.
Extremely talented vocalist/musician. We heard him perform at Daryl's House and he played an incredible medley of wonderful covers, uniquely styled and beautifully sung. Highly recommended.
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you so SO much for this glowing review! This means way more to me than you know and I’m glad you enjoyed the music as much as Ioved making it! Hope to bump into you again soon so I can thank you in person. 😊🙏🏾
What a perfect day… It was all the more special having Jeiris there! Super talented, and a great guy, great energy! Everyone loved him! We are going to be finding another excuse to hire him again in the future!!!
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you Amy! It was such a pleasure meeting everyone and allowing me to take part in such a special occasion! Everyone was super friendly and I can’t wait to meet up with you all again. Thank you THANK YOU!
Jeiris was a genuine pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was so easy to reach, quick to respond, and worked with us to put together a mix of songs that my husband and I both love. His soulful yet commanding voice and acoustic guitar created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony, and then He plugged in for cocktail hour where the energy was pumped up and he played fun covers of Amy Winehouse, Otis Reading, Leon Bridges, Barry White, and many more. Cannot recommend him enough!!!! Hiring Jeiris for your wedding or special event is the best decision you could make!
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you so much Sofia for your kind words! It was an honor to be a part of your day. Hope to see you soon! Thank you THANK YOU!
Hired Jeiris for our dgts 3rd Birthday. Amazing artist who played per our request a mix of children’s songs and adult songs. Interaction with the kids and adults. Everyone told me they were blown away by his voice! He “made” the party. One guest asked if he can follow them home to continue singing lol. We will remember how special this party was having Jeiris with us. We are grateful. Definitely will hire for future parties! Thank you Jeiris!!!
Response from Jeiris Cook:
OMG! Thank you so much for the kind words! I loved every minute of it and everyone was really friendly. Thank you for making it just as special for me. Thank you THANK YOU!!
Words can not describe the exceptional partnership with working with the incredibly talented, Jeiris Cook. After a long search interviewing many singer/guitarist, we met Jeiris and immediately were impressed with how professional and personable he is. We instantly became fans of his singing and hired him to sing at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour.
Little did we all know a pandemic was on the way. Jeiris remained professional through three separate date changes. Responding quickly to our availability inquiries and ensuring us that when our date finally arrived he would be ready and everything would be great. He was absolutely correct. Jeiris was amazing! The entire evening our guest were complimenting us on having a singer at the event. And not just a singer but one that plays guitar just as beautifully. If you are considering hiring a singer/guitarist for your event, Jeiris is phenomenal!
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you so much for the beautiful review and kind words! The honor was mine and I’m happy knowing I could help make the day special for you both. Thank you THANK YOU 😊🙏🏾
Mr Cook was hired to come to my house & play and sing a number of songs. He is a very good musician both with his guitar & vocals. His talent shines through, he plays confidently & with artistry. I highly recommend him to be hired for your event or go see him when he plays at a show.
Jeiris sung and played the guitar excellently and was very professional in doing a Serenade for a special woman in my life, Diane. He was accessible and creative with his music. It was a fabulously memorable performance.
Jeiris is so talented! He performed at an outdoor social distance drive-by event that we hosted. Each song was better than the next. All the guests were complimenting his music and grateful for the enjoyment he provided. He was also a pleasure to communicate with (very responsive) and brought and set up his own equipment.
From the first contact, Jeiris has been incredible to work with. He is easygoing and responsive, and his talent is undeniable. Our guests loved his music, and we loved having the reassurance that our guests were happy. Jeiris played/sang two songs of our choosing for the ceremony, his own playlist for the cocktail hour, and then manned the playlist for our reception. The vendors were complimentary of his professionalism and talent as well. Can't wait to hear him play again!
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you so much for your kind words. I had the best time. I’m still raving to everyone about that CAKE! Thank you for allowing me to take part in your special day and I’ll see you guys real soon. Be well🙏🏾
Jeiris played our outdoor gathering last night and was a huge hit. He has a beautiful voice and chose a perfect mix of songs. All the guests were raving. Also he is a very nice guy which added to the great vibe of the evening. Can’t wait for him to join us again for the next one.
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you so much Penelope! I’m glad I could help make it special for you all. Thank you I’m looking forward to the next one!

Thank you so much Randi for having me. Great meeting you and everyone else. I had a blast!
Jeiris recently performed at 50th birthday party and was AMAZING! Besides being a friendly, fun and professional artist to work with - his talent is off the charts. Our guests were so impressed and everyone enjoyed his performance.
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you so much Deb for having me! It was great to meet you and your family and friends. Everyone was welcoming and it was just magical. Thank you THANK YOU!
Unbelievable talent and professionalism! Made our wedding an absolute magical night! Guests are still talking about the music!!
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you so much Catherine for having me!! It was great meeting you, Jimmy and your family and friends. It was really a beautiful event and I wish you two a lifetime of happiness. Be well and I hope to get a chance to see you again real soon.
Jeiris was the prefect complement to my wife's 50th birthday celebration on Lake Hopatcong. Jeiris' artistic ability and smooth style created a beautiful vibe for all party attendees! My wife could not have been happier and said his music truly made the party a great and memorable time. I would highly recommend hiring Jeiris for any private event that you want to be a special event that everyone will remember!
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Thank you Sean for having me. You and Sue are amazing people and the added view I had lakeside made this really enjoyable for me. I'm glad I was able to make it memorable for you both. Thank you THANK YOU. It was a pleasure :-)
I hired Jeiris to play at a Celebration of Life event for my dearly departed sister, Beth. She was a free spirit, a person with a lot of energy and I wanted to find a musician that could capture her zest for life and make people feel like she was there through music. Jeiris did this, and then some. He played with a style and a heart that Beth would have Loved, and the people in attendance marveled at how wonderful he was. If there were 6 stars, I'd give them. Hell, I'd give a hundred of them. :) Jeiris' professionalism and wonderful manner were perhaps only exceeded by his talent and Spirit. Thank you so much, Jeiris. I couldn't have found someone better for this event if I tried, you were (are) sensational and I'd recommend you to anyone (and will do so!)
Response from Jeiris Cook:
Dave thank you so much for having me and for your kind words! I really enjoyed meeting your family and so glad I was able to bring some comfort to you. Really loved the fact that it was a celebration of life and that was quite refreshing. Also refreshing was the food haha. Oh and thanks for the "Harvest Moon" request! Really loved learning that song! Thank you THANK YOU. Be well!
I hired Jeiris for my husband’s 50th Bday party. I can only say he was awesome and a perfect fit for our small event. Came early to set up, played requests, totally personable and just so very talented. Worth every penny! I highly recommend him. We followed COVID distancing and honestly it was a perfect party.
We never imagined we could impress all 50 of our diverse and discriminating family and friends at my wife's 50th birthday. We did thanks to Jeiris' music and personality. His crisp and soulful sound was even better in person than on his youtube videos, which wowed us in the first place. What a great guy too. Our venue coordinator loved him and I had fun handing out his cards to many of our guests. Definitely made our day that much more special.
Response from Jeiris Cook:

You can expect soft acoustic music overlayed with a soulful flare. I bring in all of my own equipment, extension chords etc. My setup doesn't require much space and only takes about 15-20 mins (same with breaking down). The only thing I require is an outlet to plug in and maybe a glass of water and I do the rest. If its an outdoor event I'd also require a tent or some sort of covering in inclement weather or to keep the sun. That's it.....im pretty easy to deal with.
Jeiris Cook, if asked will tell you his singing influences and style are reminiscent of the Motown era. A life long soul stirring vocalist, his aim is to marry old and new while delivering audiences a performance that is truly unique and memorable.
His vocals exquisitely compliment the acoustic vibrations that emanate from his guitar. His style is an infusion of vintage soul, folk and rhythm and blues rolled into a velvety serenade.
He was a contestant on the hit show Showtime At The Apollo. He has also performed on the BET Soundstage, the Nassau Coliseum and various showcases.
