I hired Kemi to play for our student group's Christmas party. She was flexible, easy to work with, and adapted her sound and style to create an unforgettable show for our students. She was so good we hired her back the following year!

Response from Kemi Adegoroye:
Thank you Ryan! We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with your students!
Working with Kemi was an absolute delight. Their music was nothing short of magical, blending smooth jazz melodies with a silky, rich voice that instantly draws you in. The chemistry between the two (piano) members and singer was palpable, creating a sound that's both intimate and dynamic. They were set up outside but near the door, so we could hear the music everywhere. They were also consummate professionals - easy to collaborate with, set up rehearsal times with the venue, and brought all their equipment. They were willing to take song requests beforehand yet had their own music they could play. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for extraordinary music and a seamless working relationship.
