From the start, she was incredibly professional and collaborative—she worked with us to curate the perfect playlist, blending timeless jazz classics from artists like Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Ella Fitzgerald. Her voice is simply stunning—effortless, soulful, and full of warmth. The moment she started singing, it set the perfect ambience and brought a beautiful energy to the space. You couldn’t help but smile hearing her, and our guests were just as enchanted. We received so many compliments throughout the evening about how talented and engaging she was. Styliannie is not only an amazing performer, but also a genuinely lovely person. She brought a touch of glamour, grace, and joy to our special day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!"

And they don’t do what most 50s 60s rock ‘n’ roll bands do ... go off on their own tangent , they stick to the agenda and they do it SO well !! You can actually dance to all their amazing music! 🎤🎸🥁🎸🥰 Wait ‘til you hear “Cry to me” ! A standing ovation the first time they performed it ! 😍 We love this band, It proves you don’t need quantity, just quality! We even had them play at our wedding last year! 10/10 💃🕺" Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia (4,837 miles from Kyoto) Joy Baxter
