Photo of Domassax Domassax "My boyfriend hired Domas to come surprised my family during happy hour one night of our vacation in Provence. Domas was super communicative - working with Jake to plan the setlist ahead of the event and coordinating logistics for the surprise - and the night blew everyone away! Domas is incredibly talented and kind, and we had so much fun dancing the night away! Thank you Domas for being the highlight of our trip!" Based in Aix-en-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region 20th September 2026 Rachel - Family dinner Photo of Nirina Nirina "Nirina is, in a word, a wonderful artist: genuine, humble, discreet, and blessed with an incredible voice. He won over everyone at our wedding on September 16. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you for everything, Nirina — and thank you for making our first dance so special by singing our song together with two members of our family. We could not have dreamed of anything better. You are truly wonderful. Hats off to you, and I hope to have the opportunity to see you perform again someday."

Their repertoire is built to increase from a lounge ambiance to a full party and the band delivers big time ! Not only can they perform with great great talent, but they shake the crowd and leave them always wanting more. Of all the bands performing here, Sabotaaaage is known for their electric high happy energy, their crazy mashups and unusual good songs selection. Songs no other bands dare to cover !" Based in Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region Hotel Post Zermatt - Music Venue Photo of Spirit Jordache Singer Spirit Jordache Singer "Hired to sing one time in our restaurant, now it is a monthly event and it gets better and better. From soulful music to romantic music to dance music, he can do it all. His passion is felt by everyone in the audience. Can’t get enough of Spirit and his spirit. Incredible singer" Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Christina Tomasello - Saveurs et Mélodies @ L’Arbre à Pâte
