Overview

My sound is a blend of mostly soul with traces of folk and R&B music. My musical setlist is pretty wide-ranging since I perform often in front of diverse audiences. My percussive style of play combined with souful vocals make for a truly unique and unheard of experience that will leave you pleasantly surprised.

Deep talent - hope more audiences get to hear him

Extremely talented vocalist/musician. We heard him perform at Daryl's House and he played an incredible medley of wonderful covers, uniquely styled and beautifully sung. Highly recommended.

A Soulful Superstar

Jeiris was a genuine pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was so easy to reach, quick to respond, and worked with us to put together a mix of songs that my husband and I both love. His soulful yet commanding voice and acoustic guitar created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony, and then He plugged in for cocktail hour where the energy was pumped up and he played fun covers of Amy Winehouse, Otis Reading, Leon Bridges, Barry White, and many more. Cannot recommend him enough!!!! Hiring Jeiris for your wedding or special event is the best decision you could make!

The best entertainer we have ever had!

Hired Jeiris for our dgts 3rd Birthday. Amazing artist who played per our request a mix of children’s songs and adult songs. Interaction with the kids and adults. Everyone told me they were blown away by his voice! He “made” the party. One guest asked if he can follow them home to continue singing lol. We will remember how special this party was having Jeiris with us. We are grateful. Definitely will hire for future parties! Thank you Jeiris!!!

Incredibly Talented and Professional

Words can not describe the exceptional partnership with working with the incredibly talented, Jeiris Cook. After a long search interviewing many singer/guitarist, we met Jeiris and immediately were impressed with how professional and personable he is. We instantly became fans of his singing and hired him to sing at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour.
Little did we all know a pandemic was on the way. Jeiris remained professional through three separate date changes. Responding quickly to our availability inquiries and ensuring us that when our date finally arrived he would be ready and everything would be great. He was absolutely correct. Jeiris was amazing! The entire evening our guest were complimenting us on having a singer at the event. And not just a singer but one that plays guitar just as beautifully. If you are considering hiring a singer/guitarist for your event, Jeiris is phenomenal!

What to expect

You can expect soft acoustic music overlayed with a soulful flare. I bring in all of my own equipment, extension chords etc. My setup doesn't require much space and only takes about 15-20 mins (same with breaking down). The only thing I require is an outlet to plug in and maybe a glass of water and I do the rest. If its an outdoor event I'd also require a tent or some sort of covering in inclement weather or to keep the sun. That's it.....im pretty easy to deal with.

About

Jeiris Cook, if asked will tell you his singing influences and style are reminiscent of the Motown era. A life long soul stirring vocalist, his aim is to marry old and new while delivering audiences a performance that is truly unique and memorable.

His vocals exquisitely compliment the acoustic vibrations that emanate from his guitar. His style is an infusion of vintage soul, folk and rhythm and blues rolled into a velvety serenade.

He was a contestant on the hit show Showtime At The Apollo. He has also performed on the BET Soundstage, the Nassau Coliseum and various showcases.
