DJ Ashe
"I would like to send out a huge Thank You to this guy right here. He was absolutely awesome. As a DJ you are going to do great things. Your focus was on point, you remedied problems and took ques as if you had ESP. Anyone who plans on having an event here in Yokosuka and need a good DJ, please look this guy up!"
Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment
"Terrific and magical
Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her.
I would definitely keep him in mind for future events."
