And, a very nice person, as well.

September 22, 2019Excellent Choice!
Hired Carlos for a company event celebrating the Hispanic Heritage month, he was there on time, super easy to work with, he played some audience requests and his talent is superb. He travels with all his equipment, pretty much all what he needs is a chair and an electrical outlet. Will definitively work w Carlos again!

Fitted the selections of music to the theme of the party. He was to provide background music instead of featured music which he did without becoming the center of attention.'
