I secured Malcolm's services for a worship service I was planning. Malcolm was quick to reply, and we came to an agreement quickly, and effortlessly. He suggested repertoire for the service, and it was absolutely perfect. He provided me with sheet music for the service, and couldn't have made it any easier. Malcolm is a genuinely nice and friendly person, and a true professional. Then when he opened his mouth to sing, I was truly impressed. Malcolm possesses a large clarion voice that is even from top to bottom. His voice is absolutely beautiful, and he sings from his heart. He doesn't stand and sing, he "performs". He is very musical, and you believe every word he sings. Everyone who attended the service offered him praises. I hope to have Malcolm return for a future event ASAP. Thank you, Malcolm for making everyone's day that much brighter with your amazing voice.
He recently performed at our Masquerade Ball and my families and residents said it was the best performance they’d ever heard! HIS VOICE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Malcolm is a professional. As a lover of Opera, I have been fortunate to hear many of the best worldwide. Last evening we celebrated the gift of a very talented man.
Response from Operatic Baritone, Classical Flute player:
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you!
I can’t recommend Malcolm more highly. He was a professional throughout the entire process and his voice is absolutely stunning.
Response from Operatic Baritone, Classical Flute player:
Thank you for your kind words, and it was a privilege to share my music with your family.
God Bless,
Malcolm
Malcom really amazed our hearts with such a strong voice! We did not have a dry eye in your place because of how beautiful the performance was. This helped my whole family feel so great after we had just taken such a big loss.
Response from Operatic Baritone, Classical Flute player:
Thank you for the review. May God bless you and your beautiful family!
