Mookie of MME Entertainment truly understood our vision and executed it perfectly. My husband and I requested a performance inspired by *Coming to America* for our wedding, and he delivered exactly that, complete with surprise elements and an unforgettable grand entrance at both the ceremony and reception. He represented our culture beautifully by dressing in our country’s colors. He wowed us and our guests! Highly recommend this company for an exceptional performance.
Mook and his team of 7 drummers and dancers came to perform at my wedding. They were very professional, responsive and timely and of course extremely talented. All of my guests enjoyed their work, and those guests included many of nigerian descent who commended the authenticity of the performance. Great work, highly recommend
We have three summer camps, different number of kids in each, and they performed the same for 5 kids as they did for 70 kids - full of passion and energy! Kids had a blast! So fun, so interactive! Definitely recommend!
I only watched a portion of the act. Mookie held the interest of the attendees and engaged them. They were happy with the overall performance.
The drummers were a hit and the dancers energized the students. They got everyone moving and even taught some call and response words.
The drummers were extremely talented and energized the crowd with their beats. The dancers were enthusiastic and interacted with the crowd afterwards which was delightful. I will choose them again if I ever have a similar event which was am African Themed birthday celebration.
Mookamilli Entertainment was an amazing experience! They were on time and super friendly. Their costumes were eye catching and perfect for their performance. They provided wonderful dance and drums to my graduation party! It was the talk of the night! I'm so glad I booked them! Book them for your event, you won't regret it!

This group did a great job performing at our cultural event. They grabbed a couple people from the crowd and showed us how to dance and there was even a supposed costume change. We loved them and it was a great experience seeing them perform.
Mooki and his team provided a high energy and engaging performance in celebration of Black History month. The dancers were great and got the crowd dancing as well. It was a wonderful event and I would highly recommend these professionals for an amazing performance.
Excellent performance to get people energized!

I saw FriendzWorldMusic perform last week in Manhattan and it was such a special experience. The dancing and drumming kept everyone on Stone Street entertained. Perhaps the best part was the smiles on everyone's faces. They looked like they genuinely love performing, and each other. Each member of the group was extremely friendly and I even had the opportunity to speak with Mellissa after the show. They deserve acknowledgement for such an awesome display of cultural collaboration.
Response from MME Entertainment:
So Awesome!
Thank you so so much for your kind words, with love the MME family!!

With a wide rang of talent our performances can be explosive, high energy and also yet calming and relaxing.
With our unique skill set and focus on meeting the clients needs Mookamilli Entertainment develops the right performance for each individual event we take part in.
Born and raised in New York City, Mookie embodies everything that a true musical explorer should be. Though he identifies more with being a New Yorker, his diversity and African and Caribbean roots have, in some part, influenced his passion for music, and distinct talents.
At a young age his biggest influences were Prince and Stevie Wonder—two musical legends who relied mainly on their pure talent. As Mookie phrases it, “You have to become so great at what you do, you have to become a pinnacle of inspiration... a one-man show!” This personal philosophy opened his eyes to the various paths one can take when pursuing a music career. It isn’t solely restricted to become just an artist, writer, producer or a manager. Every path is free for you to venture.
Mookie became a master of music through his great experiences and hard work. When he was 17, he joined the ‘Artist Collective’ [a performing arts program in Hartford, CT] and began touring around the USA playing drums and keyboard for 5 years. Mookie was also granted the great opportunity to play the keyboard and tour with 50 Cent. In 2009, he began to collaborate with MBK Entertainment—Alicia Keys former management company—and continues to work with them. Yet, in 2011, he decided to start up his own production and management company, and so he formed Mook’a’milli Entertainment.
As if that wasn’t enough work, Mookie also runs a performing arts group, under his company, called ‘FriendZ World Music’. They offer Modern Dance, West African Drum and Dance, Hip-Hop, and Live Fusion Band. He
also works with many African dance companies around the world both international and domestic, such as "Kochenga " an Ivorian Dance company based in Ivory Coast West Africa and in the US. Music is his passion and his love, and he continues to work every day, building his brand—Mook’a’milli Entertainment.
