"The absolute highlight of our wedding in Mallorca! His incredible bongo skills lit up the dance floor, blending perfectly with the DJ and keeping everyone dancing all night."
Jord Percussion (DJ Bongos)
"I've been to a few of Jord's gigs and she is an unbelievably gifted percussionist/drummer whose passion for rhythm and music shines through in every time she performs. Whether she's playing live, or collaborating with other musicians, her timing, creativity, and energy elevate the entire musical experience.
I've had the privilege of seeing her perform multiple times, and each time I'm blown away by her skill, precision, and stage presence. She brings both technical expertise and a deep sense of musicality to her craft, making her not only a great performer but also an inspiring artist to work with.
If you're looking for an authentic, reliable, and talented drummer or percussionist for any event, or collaboration - look no further. Highly recommended!"
The Dhol Unit
"OMG the best Dhol players ever. Everyone at the event was talking about how amazing they were. The way they made an entrance with the bharathi behind was outstanding. All dressed in a beautiful traditional black attire and coordinated in every manner. Even the event manager said it’s by far the best he has seen. Thank you so much for making the day even more special honestly had it not been for the lads I can honestly say it would’ve been bland. Everything arranged over the phone for the time of arrival and the lads were already there waiting. Thank you again hopefully we will meet again soon."
Emmanuel Ayodeji
"We had the pleasure of having Emmanuel perform at our recent event, and it was nothing short of fantastic! His talent and energy brought an incredible atmosphere, making the event truly memorable. The music was beautifully played, adding a touch of elegance and excitement to the celebration. My dad absolutely loved it, and all our guests enjoyed the performance.
Highly recommend Emmanuel for any event—professional, engaging, and a true musical talent. Thank you for making the night special!"
Sergio Drums
"Sergio was a big part of the Gravey live setup for a few years. Always super solid, easy to work with, and brought a proper spark to every show. Whether it was a packed venue or a mid-week dive bar, he gave it everything. Total pro without ever taking himself too seriously."
