Photo of Stan Komarovsky Stan Komarovsky "It is a true pleasure to recommend Stan Komarovsky. After working with him, I can confidently say he is one of the finest musicians and one of the most professional people I have had the opportunity to collaborate with. From our very first rehearsal through our live performance, Stan consistently exceeded every expectation. His level of musicianship is exceptional. His bass playing is precise, powerful, musical, and always elevates the entire band. He has outstanding timing, incredible feel, and the ability to make every song sound bigger, tighter, and more dynamic. He doesn’t simply play the bass—he helps create a complete, polished performance. What truly sets Stan apart is his professionalism and dedication. He always arrived fully prepared, learned every song thoroughly, communicated clearly, and approached every rehearsal with a positive attitude and genuine commitment. As someone organizing a show, having a musician you can completely rely on is invaluable, and Stan was exactly that. He made the entire process smoother and gave everyone confidence on stage. Beyond his incredible talent, Stan is an outstanding person. He is respectful, humble, easy to work with, supportive of his fellow musicians, and genuinely passionate about delivering the highest-quality performance possible. His positive attitude and calm professionalism create a great atmosphere both during rehearsals and on stage. If you are looking for a bassist who combines world-class musicianship with reliability, professionalism, and outstanding character, I cannot recommend Stan highly enough. Whether it’s a concert, corporate event, private function, wedding, festival, recording session, or touring production, he will bring tremendous value and professionalism to your event. I sincerely hope to work with Stan again on many future projects. He is an exceptional musician, a true professional, and someone I would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for top-tier musical talent. Thank you, Stan, for your dedication, your incredible performance, and for helping make our show a memorable success. You have earned my highest recommendation, and I wish you continued success in everything you do.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" 6th July 2026 Gustavo P. - Savage Avenue (80s Rock Tribute) Photo of David Sax David Sax "Absolutely incredible! He was one of the highlights of our wedding. So many guests came up to us saying how amazing he was and asking where we found him. Super talented, easy to work with, and brought such a great vibe to the night. We’d book him again in a heartbeat." 2nd August 2026 Kevin Ansems - Wedding Photo of Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' "BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A ​"Garry King as a drummer and producer brings a quality of musicianship and professionalism seldom seen. He is just the kind of person our industry needs." ​" 18th August 2026 BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A - Drummer Photo of Orestis Violinist Orestis Violinist "I couldn’t recommend Orestis highly enough! After another musician unexpectedly cancelled just a few days before my planned marriage proposal, I found Orestis at very short notice – and looking back, I honestly couldn’t have wished for anyone better to accompany such an important moment in our lives. I had planned to propose to my girlfriend on Falassarna Beach at sunset, and everything needed to remain a complete surprise. From our very first conversation, communication with Orestis was excellent. Despite the short notice, he took the time to discuss every detail with me, helped coordinate the timing, and made sure everything would happen exactly as I had imagined. I was able to choose the songs in advance and we carefully planned when he should start playing so that my girlfriend wouldn’t suspect anything. He even has his own portable sound system that does not require a power connection, which made it possible to have beautiful live music directly on the beach. And then came the most important part: Orestis played the violin absolutely beautifully. Hearing Can’t Help Falling in Love while asking the woman I love to marry me, with the sun setting over Falassarna, was a moment neither my fiancée nor I will ever forget. ❤️ Everything was perfect – the music, the timing, the atmosphere and the coordination. My fiancée absolutely loved it, and our entire family was equally impressed. Apart from being an excellent musician, Orestis is also an incredibly kind, warm and genuine person. It was truly a pleasure having him there, and I am very grateful that he became part of such a special moment in our lives. Thank you so much, Orestis, for helping make our engagement unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience and would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional musician for a proposal, wedding or any other special occasion. Petro & Michelle ❤️🎻" 7th September 2026 Petro - Marriage Proposal Photo of Drummer/Percussion Drummer/Percussion "I got a great review directly from the client on the venue. She mentioned that she searched widely for th kind of sound and performance I do and she was extremely happy in the end." 18th September 2026 Pamela - Organizer Photo of Dmytro Miroshkin Dmytro Miroshkin "Dmytro was so professional. We worked together to had the best piano recital on my Wedding day. he is outstanding, he plays really beautiful and with a really good technique!" 30th September 2026 Alvaro Martin - Wedding
