I gave my anxiety of my mother's funeral - me to trusting 'someone' (to sing praise) when I was under so much pressure (a holiday weekend too) - for her to add the grateful voice of our family at this time - to thank the Lord in music for our mother's life, and Soo was the ultimate professional. Beautiful!
After the services - mourners asked me privately - "How do you know your soloist? She sang so beautifully!" I said, "I prayed and God sent her to me actually."
Soo Sings - and "boy did she!"
Soo's voice and control and talent and professionalism (punctuality as well) was 'someone' I will tell others about for years to come and would surely suggest to others for hiring and trusting her too. I was very happy with Soo Sings. Impressive. Amen.

Thank you SO much Denise for your kind words and encouragement. You are a beautiful woman, inside and out, and I can see by the heart you have that your mother's love helped you to become an incredible child of God! Thank you for giving me an opportunity to not only share in my musical gift, but also in the gift of love I saw between you and your friends/family yesterday. I am truly thankful to God for you!
We hired Soo to sing at our wedding. From the moment we heard her voice, we knew she was a perfect fit. Soo has a very soulful, jazzy voice and when given a song choice, she makes it unique and beautiful. Soo was very professional and wanted everything written in a contract so that everything was clear and nothing was forgotten on the day of the wedding. Soo also suggested meeting a few times before the big day so we could test sound. On the day of the wedding, she arrived 2+ hours in advance for sound check and to make sure everything was prepared. Many of my guests had told me they thought her performance was a recording until they realized she was performing live! I could not have been more happy with her performance. I will most likely have her performing at all my important milestone events....that's if she isn't too famous by then! I highly recommend Soo for any of your events.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure to play and meet you! Thank you again!
What a delight Soo Sings was at our New Year's Eve celebration. Her song selection was very timely for our residents, and they really enjoy the show.

Thank you so much for your kind words Cathy! I look forwarding to enjoying the musical happy hour time again with the residents!!
It was scary hiring someone I didn’t know for my father’s funeral service but Soo was so amazing. I didn’t know where to even start but she coordinated with our pianist and everything went perfectly. She even learned a new song within a few days. I definitely would recommend Soo if you need a singer for any type of event. I couldn’t of asked for more.

Thank you so much Amanda for allowing me the privilege of honoring your father’s life with song. It was a beautiful service and he was very loved! Thank you for having me!
Soo sang at our wedding. It was one a kind of voice and performance. It was only her voice and her guitar in the outdoor wedding. It was so beautiful. Thank you Soo!! She even made a 10min song into a 3 min song for our time limit and the song was even more beautiful than the original!! She is an absolutely needed requirement for anyone’s wedding to make the most special day meaningful, magical and blissful~!!!

Thank you so much Joy and Brian for allowing me to be a part of one of the most special days in your lives!! It was so beautiful and fun and I am so thankful I got to be a part of it!
We couldn't be happier. Soo's performance was the icing on the cake for my dad's and his new wife's wedding reception. She's very professional and easy to work work with. All of our guests loved her. Thank you Soo for making Dad's day even more memorable.

Thank you so much for those kind words Joni! We had a wonderful time being able to provide music for this wonderful celebration! It was such a pleasure to meet you and your friends/family, and am hoping for the best in all things for the newlyweds and your families!!
We could not have been any happier with how truly amazing Soo was throughout the entire process. Not only was she patient with our changing event date due to Covid and travel restrictions, she was also very kind, professional, informative and empathetic. Not to mention most importantly - an incredibly talented singer with a beautiful voice that wowed everyone that attended our wedding ceremony. We had a very small group and was so happy she would perform for us.
I highly recommend Soo for any event.

Wow Paige, thank you so much for these kind words! You had such a lovely wedding ceremony, in one of the beautiful places in San Diego. Surrounded by those who love you both so much, I was so thankful to be a part of it. Thank you so much for having me witness your beautiful union!!
Soo and her band did an amazing performance at my sisters wedding! All the guests kept complimenting how Soo and the band were a beautiful touch to the cocktail hour and dinner reception, and they made the garden setting of the venue that much more dreamy. She also played all the first dance songs, taking a jazz twist on some modern songs - it was so amazing!
Soo was also so well organized and communicative throughout the planning process. We couldn’t recommend Soo enough!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such an incredible wedding, and it was truly an honor to be a part of this amazing celebration (what an amazing job in helping your sister pull off that beautiful day!). Thank you so much Krystle!
What a treat to work with Soo. She’s so professional on the business side and has been gifted with an amazing voice. She made it an extra special evening.

Soo led worship for our services this past Sunday and we couldn't have been more pleased with her talent and her heart, as she shared a bit about herself between songs. Soo is personable, professional and talented. With both our worship leaders unavailable at the last second, Soo came to the rescue. I couldn't recommend her more highly. We'd love to have her back sometime!

Thank you so much for your review Rhonda... Thank you for allowing me in such a special ceremony for your mom. <3 God bless you and your family.
I’ve never heard of a funeral singer before, so when I googled “funeral singer” Soo Kim popped up. When I booked her, I wasn’t sure what to expect. She showed up promptly, introduced herself and then set up on her own. She created such a beautiful vibe, her voice set the mood, she continued to play as we gave our final viewing. Thank You Soo Kim , you truly blessed our family during this difficult time with your God given talent!! Book her .. you won’t regret it !

Wow, this is such a beautiful review. Thank you so much for inviting me to witness what a beautiful life, and how loved your brother was in his family. with his friends, with his community. Thank you again Maddy, you are an incredible sister, daughter, and mother. <3
The celebration of life for my parents was made a very relaxing and pleasant event by the wonder voice, and professionalism of Soo Kim. Many people complimented later on how she was such a talented lady and the service was sweeter with her there.

Hi Nancy, thank you so much for your kind words and allowing me to come help celebrate your parents life! They were such a beautiful couple, and I am so thankful to witness your love for them and hear stories about their love for each other! Thank you Nancy!
Soo spent many hours preparing for our Dad's 88th birthday party- she was extremely thorough in finding out all about my dad's background and rehearsing his favorite songs, and also very knowledgable about myriad cultures and musical era's. She is also the consummate professional, a talented songstress and an absolute delight to get to know- we all loved her! She travels anywhere, loads all her own gear, and even brought extra mics so my sisters and I could try a few of the old numbers together for old times sake! We felt so lucky to be able to hire a musician of her caliber and talent, and look forward to many more events with her! If you ever have the opportunity to hire Soo, I can't recommend her enough! Thank you so much Soo!

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, and inviting me to such a lovely home. Being able to accompany you while you sang some of your parents' favorite songs too was such a wonderful time, you have an amazing voice yourself! Keep singing Amari!
Yesterday we celebrated the life of my husband. I contracted Soo Kim to sing and provide meaningful background music. From the minute I signed the contract with Soo she was a total professional. She contacted me, asked about the mood of the day, sent me videos with suggestions, attended meetings with the venue to be sure all would come off without a hitch and even learned a song my husband loved to perform at the beginning of the ceremony. Her voice and skills as a musician are top notch and were enjoyed by all. She is the consummate professional and she's EXTREMELY nice to boot! She went above and beyond anything I might have expected to make every detail perfect for this day...I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Response from Soo Sings:
Thank you SO much Rose Marie for these wonderful words. I came home and told my husband all about your husband, and about what an incredible celebration it was for him. I loved hearing all the stories of who he was to so many, and how his love and legacy is living on in the character of those who shared! You did such a phenomenal job planning, and it was beautiful from beginning to end. I'm also adding "Somewhere Out There" as part of my permanent repertoire, and I have you and Allan to thank for that! Thank you so much Rose Marie!
Soo played at my dads celebration of life. Adding Soo to the program brought the event to the next level. We had so many compliments and everyone thought she had a beautiful voice. She was professional and has a real grace about her. Thank you Soo for bringing comfort to a difficult day. We will never forget your beautiful voice. - The Mathison Family

I hired Soo to sing two very special songs for my son's memorial, she not only was very professional but also very comforting and sweet to me at a very difficult time. I was so satisfied with her entertaining ability and looked so beautiful. She made sure to cover every detail for the service to make sure it was special. I feel she wen/ above and beyond the performance. I will most definitely call upon her for her talent and beautiful presents.

Teresa, thank you so much for your kind words, and thank you again so much for allowing me to be a part of your son's special service. Having met you, even for a short time, I know how much he was loved by you and I am sure he knew that as well. May he sweetly rest in peace and comfort, and may his memories continue to bring your family joy as you remember who he was and still is in your hearts.
We booked Soo for a funeral service. She played the keyboard and then sang and played the guitar. She is amazing!!! I could tell from her clips that she is very talented and has a really beautiful, unique voice. In person, she exceeded my expectations. I asked her to select music that was soft, but not too sad or religious. Her music choice was on point and she really made the service extra special. In addition, she is classy, gracious, professional and accommodating. I highly recommend her!

We hired Soo for a performance at our senior facility and she was wonderful! Very kind and talented. The seniors really enjoyed her performance and cannot wait for her to return. She even took requests and let the residents perform with her!

Thank you so much Elizabeth for your kind words! I had such a great time with them as well and look forward to seeing you and them again!
My wife and i were blown away by her vocals and powerful command of the stage.
Even more than that, her humility and kindness. Going above and beyond, making sure the program went smoothly. If you saw her, you would have thought she was one of the wedding coordinators. My wife says, she is by far the nicest person she's ever met, And her voice is like that of an angel.

Response from Soo Sings:
Wow David, thank you so much for your wonderful words! I don't work with grooms as much as brides for weddings, but I was so delighted to see a groom who wants the best for his bride and was so detailed in the songs you were dedicating to his beautiful bride! You and Blessing were absolutely stunning on your wedding day, and I thank you so much for allowing me to witness and take part in your wonderful wedding!
Soo was very amenable to program requests and even took the trouble to learn and perfect several selections not usual for her repertoire and even language. A true professional gem!

Thank you so much Jill. Again, it was such a honor to be a part of something to special and intimate for your family. It was a beautiful service. Thank you so much for having us.
Soo did an amazing job for our Senior Club Holiday Celebration. She is one of the most versatile performers EVER. She got the audience involved and they loved her!! Never thought I would see an 84 year old woman play tambourine and do squat-drops to the floor. Lots of fun for all.
