Nicholas was great! High energy & engaging! :)
Nicholas was a very professional trumpeter and loves what he does. We had a great experience having him on our musical video and I highly recommend him to any event that requires his skills.
He prepared a very informative class. He engaged well with the children and played almost everything that they wanted him to play on his trumpet.
I booked Nicholas for some studio time and it went amazing. We finished with time to spare because the communication and flow was so smooth. Nicholas takes direction well when improvising and is just a sweet human being to top it all off! Will be working with them again and encourage you to as well! (:
Nicholas did a great job for our event. Our guests loved it!
Nicholas did a surprise for my wife's anniversary - he waited outside our apartment building very very early and when she came out he started playing our wedding song to surprise her. He was in the right place and the right time and did played two songs for her wonderfully. He's incredibly talented and incredibly professional -- this could not have been better!!
Nicholas came to the event very prepared and promt, he performed with so much passion and the selection was so event appropriate. Overall I highly recommend him for any event that anyone could think of.
Nick played at my surprise proposal. He came early, worked around the surprise, and did an amazing job in the performance. Extremely happy with his work!
Such a great addition to our softball game!
An excellent reliable musician! A+++
Would be honored to have him again in the future. Thank you so much!
