December 14, 2017Chelsea was kind enough to accept our invitation to perform at our annual Christmas Party in our home. She was the highlight of the occasion, playing and singing songs for 5 hours from her eclectic repertoire of covers and originals, including some choice Christmas tunes she learned at my request just for the party. Her rendition of "Santa Baby" was ecstatic!! Everyone was delighted with her performance, her warm personality and the obvious joy she brings to her craft and her audience. Talented, charming and a great choice for your entertaining plans. Just make a note....Chelsea is booked December 8, 2018!

September 14, 2017If you are looking for an extremely talented singer/songwriter/guitarist, look no further. Chelsea Takami is all of the above. Seeing her live and hearing her angelic voice is mesmerizing. Playing well known covers with everything from The Beatles to Fetty Wap and everything in between. ( yes, you read correctly, Fetty Wap....Chelsea does a rendition of Trap Queen that is really cool and unique ) Her song list has something for everyone, including some really kick-ass originals. Not only is Chelsea an incredible singer/musician, she is also a wonderful person to work with. I have had the pleasure of experiencing Chelsea's many talents when she performed several times at the restaurant I manage. If you have the opportunity to book Chelsea, do not hesitate. You will NOT be disappointed.

September 14, 2017Chelsea Takami is an amazing artist and she's very fun to watch! She consistently interacts with her audience and takes requests at every show she plays and you can tell that she really enjoys what she does. She plays weekly in Huntington village at Christopher's and the last time I went to see her, there was an insanely enthusiastic and immensely loud group of people there cheering her on! I definitely recommend hiring her!

Chelsea Takami is a singer/songwriter from Long Island who specializes in special occasion, restaurant dinner hours, cocktail hours, and anything else that can be made more memorable with music.
She has been playing guitar and singing for 14 years, and has been featured in numerous radio shows, television shows, and has performed live all over Long Island and NYC, as well as overseas in Japan and across the country in California.
Takami has a comprehensive list of cover songs, as well as original compositions.
For my performances, I only require one 3-prong outlet, and an extension cord (if I am to play further than 10 feet from the outlet). I bring all of my own equipment; it is top of the line and made especially for acoustic performers like myself!
I take up a small space that includes my amp, stand, and myself. That's it!
