Samuel was amazing in communication, flexible in the customization of the set list, and generous with his time. Everyone from our event was raving about how great he was and how much they enjoyed his renditions of songs. I couldn't recommend Samuel enough and will 100% be looking for an excuse to work with him again in the future.
