“Where did you find him?” “That was the best wedding music I’ve ever heard” “Wow! I got chills up and down my spine!” The compliments extended into the reception and then on social media. Stuart’s voice filled the church when needed and his upper register put the stained glass at risk. He was a joy to work with during the planning and coordination with the violinists and organist. I believe he could sing anything.
Stuart arrived on time, and serenaded a group of about 160 for 30 minutes with his beautiful tenor voice and a great selection of inspirational songs. Would definitely hire him again.
I want to start out by saying how absolutely fantastic Stuart’s singing was at our wedding! His voice added the perfect touch of elegance to our ceremony. He also gave the most dynamic and entertaining performance at our reception (which made most of my family cry because it was so beautiful). He not only sang amazing but his professionalism, punctuality and politeness was spot on! I highly highly recommend him to everyone!! This was my first time hiring someone from online and I did not know what to expect as I am a skeptical person at times. However, he EXCEEDED my expectations and I would hire Stuart again in a heartbeat!
I needed a tenor quickly to perform some of my mother’s favorite songs at her funeral. Stuart even brought his own accompaniment. I could not have asked for a better performer.
Our congregation was touched by Stuart's beautiful tone and voice. We have signed him up again!
Stuart performed a beautiful a Capella rendition of "Do you Hear the People Sing?" graveside at my brother's funeral. He was prompt, courteous, and prepared. We highly recommend him.
It was unanimous among all of the attendants that the high point of the joyous mood of the wedding was set by the event and defined by Stuart's passionate performance of Our Lords Prayer. Spectacular Performance! Thank you Stuart!

Stuart is an incomparable worship soloist with substantial repertoire and facility in all forms of Inspirational and Sacred music.

Why is classical singing ("Bel Canto" / Italianate) technique the “best” in the WORLD AND WORLD HISTORY?
1. Longevity – your singing career, in relative comparison with other possible singing styles, will last the longest.
2. Power & projection
3. resonance balance (chiaroscuro)
4. dynamic range (loud vs. soft)
5. agility and flexibility
6. phonating range
7. size/breadth of voice

In 1988, just before interest in singing and spiritual message artistry began to emerge, my parents and I visited Moody Bible Institute in Chicago for a Steve Green concert. I was 12 years old and I had not even began to experimenting with my (newly changed) voice at home alone . Context: I was the most sincere, most innocent, most peculiar, most kindhearted but quiet kid you'd ever meet. However, Every. Single. Day. of middle school was real misery for me. I was so sad and so down-trodden that I couldn't even stand to SING the hymns at church on Sundays. I was the ONLY person in a room of 400 loudly singing Baptists refusing to rise. I truly believed and loved God, but I was just so heartbroken. It was during this time, that at a Moody Church (Chicago) Steve Green concert in 1988, I got an autograph by the astounding vocal Master. His music, artistry, and spiritual message had already began to be branded on my mind & spirit. His music - and this exchange - made things just a little bit better. Here is one of the songs Steve Green sang at that concert.
