Makeda sang at my brother's memorial service and did a fantastic job. I will definitely hire Makeda again.
Makeda performed for my father's funeral and she did a stupendous performance 👏🏿 ❤. She bought all of her equipment with her and make us feel stress free.
Her voice is angelic, literally blessed by the Lord. The Amazing Grace, Ave Maria and Hero, she sang to perfection. Our dad's funeral wouldn't have been complete without Makeda. I'm forever thankful 🙏🏿 and I highly recommend you book her.
Her range of her voice. Her professionalism is top tier.
Thank you so much, Makeda! 💞
You made my family feel peace and I know our father is looking down at us from heaven smiling .
I needed a singer for my aunt’s funeral and I found that and more in Makeda. She worked with me as I created the funeral program, even suggesting songs to fit the occasion. We needed a performer that could sing in either French or Haitian-Creole. Makeda sings in multiple languages, including French. When I asked if she was able to do a medley of two songs, she obliged and made her own arrangement. The day of, she came early. She had her own musical accompaniment. Not only did she sing the four songs requested but she joined in with the Pastor on another one. She didn’t know the words but she quickly caught on and added background vocals. By far, the highlight was when she did a medley of “Time to Say Goodbye” and “Ave Maria.” She introduced herself in French, gave condolences to my family and then suggested that people close their eyes to feel the song if they wanted. It was a beautiful moment and several people cried out during the Ave Maria. She was soft spoken but then came with a powerhouse voice. Makeda truly exceeded my expectations and added a special touch to a somber occasion, allowing us to truly honor my great-aunt. Should you hire her for your event, you will not be disappointed.
I contacted Makeda after reading her biography and felt that she was the perfect person for my Holiday Gathering.
She returned all calls/texts in a timely fashion, collaborated with me on the children sing-a-longs and the adult musical game selections, just to mention a few.
Makeda has an upbeat personality, is flexible, organized and beautifully sings a wide range of music. In addition, she arrives in professional attire.
A million thanks, for making me shine, at my event.

Makeda is an amazing singer and also super sweet and personable. Our guests were all commenting on her wonderful talent at our wedding and how much they enjoyed talking with her also.
Makeda worked with us on a song list, printed and brought with her the list of the songs she's be singing and put it on our table, which was super thoughtful and a great memento. She even themed her dress to our event!
She is kind, communicative, amazingly talented and we were so happy to have her there. I would 100% recommend her and am so happy with our decision to have her sing at our reception!
Response from Makeda Rose:
Dear Stephanie & Alex,
It was incredible singing for your wedding!!!

I saw Makeda sing in a show I hosted called UP WITH A TWIST at Rockwell in LA. She has a fantastic voice and incredible poise on stage!
Response from Makeda Rose:
Todd! It was a pleasure singing for UP WITH A TWIST!
Thank you for a setting that really lets performers be themselves. It was so amazing to just SING!
Sincerely,
Makeda Rose
Her voice is so deep and soulful, so if you are looking for a gospel/R&B singer, she is the one! I would love to work with her on another project! Unfortunately, I can't work with her in person because she lives in New York now. She sang for my gig held in the LA area and had a bunch of compliments about her incredible voice from the audience. When she sang A Song For You by Donny Hathaway, she blew my mind. In addition, her voice sounded like she was classically trained as well, so it was a plus!
Response from Makeda Rose:
It was incredible singing for your event, and even more of a pleasure to sing with you, Yo Hwan. The energy from the audience was so amazing! I can never forget it.
I promise, we will sing again.
Thank you for all your kind words.
Sincerely,
Makeda Rose
Makeda was a charming and moving performer, has a gorgeous voice and is really nice to have around! She performed FOR the audience not at them and brought smiles to everyone. I wish I had more events just to be able to enjoy her again!
Response from Makeda Rose:
It is an honor to have THE Mona Lands reviewing my performance.
And I truly appreciate your review.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Makeda Rose
