Frontman of an emerging Chicago Rock Group–Flowtone, Nissim is a force on stage. He performs with infectious style, crafting a unique show with soulful vocals and guitar. In addition to covering a variety of beloved Pop, Folk, Rock and R&B music, his original songs which have been supported by artist project grants from the Illinois Arts Council, DCASE, has caught the attention of fans nationally.
With a sultry tone akin to artists like John Mayer, and an array of electric guitar effects, he provides the perfect backdrop for any event!
Hire Nissim if you want a talented, gifted, kind, polite, and wonderful musician! I can't say enough about how great he was to work with. I have gotten tons of compliments about how great he was. He played music for people of all ages! I 100% would hire him again if needed.
He worked our Halloween/renewal of vows party and did an amazing job. Thank you for your responsiveness and dedication to our event!

Thank you Albena! Your family was very lovely and inviting, I had a fun time and I’m glad to have performed for such a special occasion!
Hired Nissim to sing while I proposed to my girlfriend! He did a great job and while prepping for the song he took feedback well and in the end the song came out amazing. Nissim was professional, easy to work with, and his efforts brought so much to the experience.
Nissim was just what I was looking for. He did amazing and sounded incredible. He was completely reliable and very friendly. So impressive.

Gig Length: 30 - 240 minutes

Solo vs Band:
I can perform as an acoustic act (acoustic guitar and non-mic'd vocals) OR with an electric guitar, mic'd vocals and guitar effects pedal.
As a band act, we have the choice of performing as a standard 3-piece band (guitar/vocals, bass, drums), with the option of adding up to 3 additional musicians. E.g violin, cello, horns, in the case where it suits the ambiance of the event. We usually perform with a string trio (violin, viola, cello) and will suggest that unless there are budget constraints.
Music Choice:
I come with music prepared, clients may request specific songs beforehand or a specific genre. Original music can also be mixed in if requested.
Provided Equipment:
In the case that there are amplification needs, the venue must have a PA system. I can provide my own mic, stand, and cables.
I'm Nissim, the guitarist and frontman of Alternative Rock group from Chicago – Flowtone. I perform custom arrangements of popular music and originals, both as a solo act and with the full group. My influences cover the range of Pop and Rock to R&B and Jazz. With the full group, we can perform as a traditional 3-piece band (guitar, bass, drums, vocals) or add additional string players (up to 3) to fit the ambiance of your event.
- Acoustic act requires a PA for venues of a relatively significant size, small shows may not need amplification
- PA required for Guitar, Vocal, or other instrumental amplification
- Audio engineer is not required but preferred for full band set ups
