June 22, 2026I would hire him again in a heartbeat—10 times over.
Benjamin was fantastic to work with! He was on time, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process leading up to the event. He was open to my ideas, took my song requests into consideration, and truly understood the vibe I was hoping for.
I told him I wanted chill, campfire-style cover songs, and that’s exactly what he delivered. His voice is amazing, his pricing was fair, and he helped create the perfect atmosphere for my birthday party. Benjamin is also just a genuinely great guy to work with.
Hired as: One Man Band, Singing Guitarist
