"Send me a message. Let's see how I help serve your upcoming event." - Luqman Rashada
Luqman was such a great addition to our work event! He arrived prepared with all his equipment, and handled his entire set up quickly and without worry (to me). We received positive feedback from our guests and internal team about the music so I highly recommend Luqman for your next event.
Hired Luqman for my husband’s 40th birthday party and I’m so glad I did! He brought all his own equipment so I didn’t have to do anything and he was so warm and friendly. His voice and range are incredible. Everyone was asking where I found him because he was so good! He had the perfect upbeat set list for a party. Will definitely hire him again. Cannot recommend enough!
Luqman was great! Very professional, played to our audience perfectly, showed up early and was very nice. We loved him and will definitely be hiring for future events!
He is a professional. Played for the crowd. Everyone had an enjoyable time. Thank you Luqman.
Luqman was the talk of the party! Everyone wanted to know how to find him for their events. He was personable and his music selection so well put together! We'd definitely get him at one of our events again. Thank you so much Luqman!!

He was so great, so personable and fun. The crowd loved it. His talent set a great vibe for the night. 10/10 recommend. Also, very professional in his communication.
Nearly two months ago I connected with Luqman after looking for a guitarist for my engagement. Luqman was super responsive, was willing to learn my Fiance and I's song, and met me at the venue to go through my vision for our special day. Luqman was so receptive and added / worked with me to really improve my vision for that moment. During the day of my engagement, Luqman showed up early, connected with my photographer and walked her through the plan. As my Fiance and I walked to the engagement location he played the part perfectly, acting as though he was simply hired by the hotel as a live musician. His voice was the PERFECT sound track to the biggest moment of my life (up until this point). He sang our song beautifully, was kind and beyond helpful. I would recommend him to ANYONE for ANY event.
If you’re thinking of hiring Luqman Rashada for your event all I can say is... DO IT! We are so glad we found him and he couldn’t have made our ceremony and cocktail house more special. He’s the best!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
You guys looked great on Saturday! I'm glad that I could add to your day in a special way.
Peace And Blessings.
Luqman came to our office and played live music for us. He was awesome. Very talented singer and great person to talk to!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you guys for hosting me! Glad to be of service.
This is the 2nd time in 3 years that we hired Luqman to perform at our Ladies Valentine’s luncheon. He did not disappoint and many of the attendees came up to me afterwards complementing his entertainment. He was also very gracious on a scheduling mistake, that I made, and made sure that the event went smooth. We will be hiring him again in the future.
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thanks for having me out again Randy!
This was our second event with Luqman, and he was even better than we remembered! Punctual, professional, and majorly talented.
Luqman was a hit! Everyone at our event loved him and he was very professional.
Words cannot express the amount of heartfelt love we have for Luqman. I found him well over a year before our wedding on GigSalad and after answering a few questions, listening to his music, we booked him right away. Initially, we were just going to have a small wedding and short- but-sweet reception where Luqman would play for us for just a couple hours. Well, after sometime into our planning it had grown into a much larger affair and our couple-hour-event was now an all-day thing, not to mention we had changed the venue. For our reception we had reluctantly opt’d for a DJ; however, we didn’t want to cancel with Luqman. He was so kind, gracious, and flexible that he agreed to singing all the music for our ceremony, through the cocktail hour, and even our first dance song. It was beyond an amazing experience, with several of our guests complementing his talent. He is a very professional, kind-hearted, and super-talented musician. We would book with Luqman over and over again given the opportunity!
Luqman is really talented. He performed 4 beautiful songs during our wedding ceremony and our guests Raved about him throughout the reception. I was raving well before the ceremony, having watched him perform before we hired him for our event. Hearing him for just a minute or two and you know that he has "it." He is such a nice person. He's easy to communicate with and wanted to make sure he delivered what we were looking for. And he killed it! So happy with him & his performance.
He performed at our wedding, very courteous & pleasant. Extremely talented, all our guest loved him & he went out of his way to learn songs special to us, and that means the world to us on our day. Definitely someone to hire and his prices are fair! We are looking forward to using him on our next event!
I had hired Luqman for my son's 21st Birthday Party. His communication was prompt throughout. He was also very flexible when it came to finalizing the playlist for the party. All in all, a great experience!!!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Sajeev,
Thank you for having me! You've got a great group of friends and I'm glad I got to hang out with them all for a short while.
Have a blessed weekend and let me know if I can help in the future.
Peace and Blessings!
Listen, I usually don't take the time out of my day to do this but Luqman is an incredible entertainer. He's talented and helped our Grand Opening go so smoothly. Without being told, he made announcements to the crowd to bring them into the store. I would hire him again and again. Definitely went the extra mile.
Luqman was an awesome performer at my daughters one year old bday party. He was very professional. He showed up early setup all his equipment and was ready to start playing right at 4pm. It was the perfect type of music for that type of event. He was enaging with the guests as well but no overly engaging. Just the right mix. Would definitely recommend him to friends and colleagues.
Luqman is a delight! Smooth and professional in all aspects: planning, set up, performance and exit. He brought the ambiance needed to take my husband's surprise birthday party to the next level. Wide variety of songs, super chill vibe, perfect balance of guest interaction and songs. & he makes it so easy too, I just told him where and when to be and he took care of all the rest. Thank you!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
You guys were great! Thank you for having me out April!
He is such a delight. We booked him for a pool reception and he killed it. Great customer service and a true delight. Really added to the evening.
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Awesome group of folks to keep me going strong throughout the night! Thanks for having me out. Looking forward to next time!
~Peace and Blessings
Luqman did an excellent job. I would recommend him for live performance. He was very professional. Thanks for everything.
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you for having me Marcus! Glad everything worked out great!
2nd event he has done for us. Luqman is awesome!
Luqman was incredible! Cant wait until we have him again on the 24th.
Loved having Luqman for a casual lunchtime event in Burnett Park. There were many people asking when he would be coming back to play next!
Great job Luq! It turned out great and you were awesome!!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
I'm glad I could help my brother! Thank you once more for having me.
~Peace and Blessings
Luqman surpassed my expectations. We needed an acoustic guitarist that could sing for a ladies Valentine's luncheon. He appealed to all ages and moved around the room to connect with all of our attendees. Would hire Luqman again!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you for having me Randy! I hope that everybody enjoyed the afternoon and walked away with smiles!
Let me know if I can be of service in the future. Peace and Blessings!
We will stay with Luqman for a while!
Luqman is THE man! This is our second time to have him for one of our events. We were very pleased all around. This will not be the last time we see him for our events.
SO many people commented on Luqman's voice! He was so professional and easy to work with. i will definitely bring him back again!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you once more for inviting me out to perform at the festival Pam! I'm glad that everyone enjoyed my music and I would love to do it again sometime in the future. Have a
blessed holiday season! ✌️
~Peace and Blessings
From initial conversation to post show, everything Luqman did was perfect. Great communication and always positive. He is a great singer and guitar player. I would book him again without a second thought! Make sure to check out his YouTube channel to see for yourself.
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you for the review Denis. I enjoyed working with you on the event and I hope that everything works out well for you moving forward! "Don't Give Up"
~Peace and Blessings
All of our guests truly enjoyed!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you Autumn! I had a great time with your guests and I'm glad that they felt the same! Please keep me in mind for your next event. Have a blessed weekend.
Peace and Blessings!
He stole the show that night. Very kind, on time and amazing talent. Can't wait to book him again.
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you Mike! It was a pleasure to perform for you, the crew, and your clientele. Hopefully we can work together in the future. Let me know. I'm game! Until next time.
~Blessings
We so appreciated you being so accommodating. The wedding start time ran late and you did an awesome job keeping everyone entertained until we were ready! Really helped make my daughter's wedding so special. Your suggestion of the addition of "Divine Romance" to the music at the end was spot on! Thank you again and we look forward to working with you again in the future.
Luqman was very personable and performed very well!! He added just what was needed to the atmosphere! The crowd really enjoyed him and I will definitely use him for future events!!!
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you Jasmine for the kind words and for having me! Congratulations once more on the launch of your new business and blessings to you on your future success!
~Peace and Blessings
Luqman was great. Super talented and very personable. His style was just what we needed to make our event over the top. Highly recommend.
Response from Luqman Rashada:
Thank you Aaron, I had a great time and I'm glad we got to work together to make the event over the top!
~Blessings
He was GREAT!! He played at both of our events and everyone loved him.
Luq performed the music for our outdoor wedding ceremony in September 2015. He. Was. Everything.
After months of planning every detail, the thing people really noticed and asked about at our wedding was Luq. He played all the songs we requested for the ceremony, and all our guests raved about him. My husband and I just love Luq!
So glad we heard him playing at a restaurant by chance!!
Luqman was a great addition to my husband's 70th birthday party. We had a small gathering and his music was the perfect background. His voice is hauntingly beautiful and all the guests wanted to know where I heard about him. Many asked for his card and many others asked me about Gigsalad! I will definitely recommend both!
I hired Luqman on short notice to perform a couple of songs for my proposal. He helped me pull it off and made the evening a night to remember! He was a great sport throughout and very professional. I would definitely recommend him.
My wife and I met Luqman a year ago while we were on a date at Terilli's in Dallas, which was definitely our best date ever because Luqman was filling the restaurant with his warm and soulful sound. We spoke with him in between songs. He was so nice and so cool that I had to get his card and I ended up hiring him to perform at our company's Christmas party. He was even gracious enough to make the drive from Dallas to Houston and he did a wonderful job. He is more than just a musician. He is a great presence, he is very positive and calming and he is an absolute joy to be around. Fast forward 7 months, and we hired him again to perform at our rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour at our wedding. Everyone loved him. I can't speak highly enough about Luqman. He is very professional and he takes great pride in what he does. I feel very lucky that I met him a year ago and I urge whoever reads this review to please consider him for your next event!
After meeting Luqman briefly at a restaurant I decided to book him to sing at my surprise proposal in June. He was so eager, professional and positive to work with during the entire planning process. Luqman learned a variety of songs that I had requested within a sort amount of time and was absolutely amazing. He truly was a blessing to work with and become friends with. I would highly recommend Luqman for any event. We will definitely be using him for any events in our future and hope to hear him singing again soon!
Luq performed at our 2015 SIM DFW Holiday party with over 200 in attendance. He provided cocktail hour and dinner music, arrived on time and stayed until the very end. His music was very well received by those in attendance. Luq is a very talented professional and he made the evening very special for us all. I look forward to future performances from Luq!

Luq shared his soulful musical style with our families at the Prestondwood annual Music in the Park event. Everyone enjoyed his performance so much that we asked him to stay and play a 30 minute encore. Luq's repertoire spans a wide range and will please all audiences. We definitely have him back.
I booked Luq for my graduation party @ the Dallas Galleria Omni. He arrivred at our suite on time and energetic. My 10 guests and I were extremely satisfied with his selection of music and the way he truly tailored his performance just for us. I highly recommend him!
I'd never hired anyone to perform in my home before and after hearing Luqman at a local restaurant I was more than convinced to try. It was sister's birthday and he serenaded her and performed awesome tunes for the guest and family. His performance was exceptional as he had us all singing and reflecting! My sister was in tears after such a special birthday gift from her little brother! Thank you Luqman for helping me to create such an awesome evening!
I hired Luqman to play at our company Open House party when we moved into our new space. Everything about the evening was perfect. He came early to set up and was ready to play at the designated time. His song choices were spot on and his energy was contagious. Everyone raved about his performance and didn't want to leave. He is an amazing talent and I will definitely use him again for my next party.
I first met Luqman on a Thursday night singing in a restaurant in Plano, TX. His voice was amazing! My sister and I was coordinating a graduation brunch for my daughter and we thought it would be amazing to have him sing instead of renting a photo booth, (Crazy thinking, the event was in three days). Before leaving, I mustard the strength to ask and he said, "Email me and I will check my calendar". My first thought was, yeah right! I emailed him, he emailed me back, we discussed terms and the gig was on. When I informed my daughter she gave the typical teenager look and said, "Whatever Mom"! Her reaction, look and questions made me nervous. I actually thought about calling it off, but I didn't. He showed up earlier and stayed past our agreed time. My daughter, her friends and our family all were surprised and amazed by his talent. I keep getting questioned, "How did you find him? I told them how it happened. The brunch was at a community center. His vocals drew a crowd of spectators and I passed out his contact card. It's been over a year and we are still talking about Luqman.
Thanks again Luqman for making my daughter's graduation brunch extra spectacular! Loritha
We had an ugly float pool party for an 18th bday bash and needed some live music. Luqman was the perfect choice. We enjoyed music across different genres but with his own style and personality. We floated under the stars and listened to great music. Everyone loved having Luqman there and I would definitely book him again.
The performance was awesome!!!
Luqman Rashada came through in the clutch for me. He had a week to prepare and a long drive to make. We had an amazing mashup planned and when the moment was too much for me, Luqman improvised with the song and turn my engagement into a memorable one. Thank you and I'd recommend him to anyone. Wedding coming up I hope he will be available.
Price Range: Fees range from $450 - $2000. Contact Me.
Gig Length: 120 - 360 minutes
Languages: English
Those who hear Luqman often share the sentiment, "he's got an old soul." Listen to him play a few songs, and you can hear echoes of the music he grew up on from a classic generation. Ask Luqman about the music that has influenced his style, and he would say, "Everyone and everything." Soul, Folk, Blues, Country, and Pop were among the musical styles that Luqman experienced as a child.
Since 2011, Luqman has been making a name for himself performing in his city: Dallas, Texas. Some of his notable accomplishments include open call auditioning in Austin, Texas, for "The Voice: Season 6," in 2013, moving him forward to Los Angeles, California, for "The Voice: The Blind Auditions." Only one of every 75,000 artists make it to this stage of "The Voice." In 2015, he was asked to privately audition in Dallas to be a contestant on the final season of "American Idol: The Farewell Season." That audition took him back to L.A where he enjoyed a short stint on the show, performing his way through to Hollywood Week: Group Rounds. His time on the show came to an end shortly after, but not before a band member gave him wise words, "Continue on the journey!"
Luqman continues the journey as a full time musician and songwriter, writing and performing a blend of original music and renditions in diverse venues across the DFW metroplex and beyond.
