Michael Shingo Crawford | Tokyo Violinist
"Michael is not only an incredible violinist, he went above and beyond by learning a song that we requested. As soon as he started playing it, both me and my dad burst into tears… My wedding was at a tricky venue and Michael went out of his way to get there and while I didn’t spend much time with him, he was the perfect addition to our special day. He is truly incredible at his craft and was highly professional. I would not hesitate to hire him in the future."
Tokyo Sinfonia
"The sound of the Sinfonia did not remain neatly contained on the stage, but came directly to the audience in their seats to knock on the door of their hearts."
Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet
"What a fantastic performance after a wonderful day of workshops. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Marcia sings beautifully and has a wonderful stage presence, really bringing the stories to life.
Her voice and storytelling are beautifully supported by the incredibly talented musicians John, Ronald, Daniel and Christiaan, each of whom captivates the audience from beginning to end with wonderful solos and tight rhythm guitar playing.
Wonderful music, a wonderful band, and it’s lovely to see how much fun you all have playing together. You’ve gained a new fan!"

"We hired him for our wedding and it was the best decision we made. Not just because of his incredible talent on the sax, but because of his warmth and the way he reads the room. He knew exactly when to bring the energy and when to let a moment breathe. Nobody gets a crowd going like he does! 🎷❤️"
