Photo of Anna Mat Anna Mat "We really enjoyed the wonderful variety of music performed by Anna! She played pop, jazz, rock, and classical music with such ease and a big smile on her face. Her backing tracks and sound setup worked perfectly, and she created such a fun and lively atmosphere for everyone. We all had a fantastic time and can't wait to see her perform again!" Based in San Diego, California 19th September 2026 Klara Nazzal - Cocktail Party Photo of Electric Sky Violin Electric Sky Violin "A Truly Exceptional Performer I had the pleasure of having Adrain perform at my New Year’s Eve party, and he was absolutely stunning! Adrain is an incredibly talented violinist, but what impressed me just as much as his talent was the passion, professionalism, and genuine care he brought to the entire event. Adrain took the time to make sure he had a wide variety of music that would fit every part of the evening—from beautiful, sweet, slow waltzes while everyone was relaxing, eating, and enjoying conversation, to faster, energetic music with cultural meaning and significance that brought back so many familiar feelings and memories. When people got up and started dancing, he transitioned into that energy so naturally and smoothly. Honestly, every time Adrain got on stage, I wanted to get up and dance! One thing that really stood out to me was how incredibly prepared he was. He doesn't have to depend on the venue or someone else to provide the equipment necessary for his performance because he literally has everything he needs himself, his own speakers, sound equipment, microphones, and everything required to put on a professional performance. He even brings extra equipment and supplies in case something unexpected comes up. His setup was clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing, and he worked incredibly hard to make sure everything was ready and looked great. As someone hosting an event, that kind of preparation gives you so much peace of mind. Adrain was also exceptionally easy to work with from beginning to end. He is incredibly modest, too. I complimented him so many times throughout the evening, and he would always say that he wished he were better—which I have to respectfully disagree with! 😂 He is truly an exceptional performer! One of the things that impressed me most, though, was seeing how willing Adrain was to help the other performers. Once he had his own setup taken care of, he immediately stepped in whenever someone else needed help, doing whatever he could to make sure they had what they needed to give their own memorable performances. He didn't have to do that, and there was nothing in it for him other than simply being a genuinely wonderful and supportive person. That really says a lot about the kind of person he is. The New Year’s Eve party was such a memorable experience, and Adrain’s performance was a huge part of what made the evening so special. I have also seen videos of him performing at weddings and have heard a few stories about his beautiful private performances for couples, including Valentine’s Day celebrations and even a marriage proposal on the beach. It is very easy to see why people choose Adrain for such meaningful occasions. I would absolutely recommend Adrain to anyone looking for an exceptional entertainer and musician. If you're looking for someone who is talented, passionate, professional, prepared, self-sufficient, personable, and genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience, you really can't go wrong with him. Adrain doesn't just play the violin—he makes the music become part of the occasion. ❤️🎻" Based in Palm Springs, California (85 miles from San Diego) 25th August 2026 Emily Photo of Island Stylin' with Bruddah Vince Island Stylin' with Bruddah Vince "Bruddah Vince made our day special!! 🍊☀️🙌 SUGAR + SUN hired Bruddah Vince for our Studio Spa Grand Opening celebration in SeaCliff Village, HB 🌺 He was incredible!

He is super easy to work with and communicate with. He has tons of songs to choose from. He was exactly what we were looking for and he helped bring our wedding dreams to life!" Based in Sherman Oaks, California (124 miles from San Diego) 4th June 2026 Leah - Wedding Ceremony Photo of Rad Flute Rad Flute "RadFlute was wonderful and we made great memories because of her. I love the idea of having live music in an intimate settings, so l hired RadFlute to perform at a small gathering for my mom's birthday. She was quick and responsive in communications. I also loved that she had the flexibility to learn new pieces that are not in her original list. Our event was mixed ages and she even took requests for us from Harry Potter all the way to Frank Sinatra! This made the event extra special."
