November 6, 2023Amazing!
Marcus made my Austic nephew's 16th birthday extra special because he took special interest in learning about what would make him happy. Marcus created the perfect celebration. Happy he was... Happy were all the adults. It was a joyful 30 minutes of dancing and singing along.

We hired Marcus for my husband’s 40th birthday. The guests were blown away by his voice! He made our event so special! He took any song requests we had, let us use his system for speeches and even brought lights and a bubble machine for the kids to play in. He was very accommodating and INCREDIBLY, incredibly talented. We highly recommend Marcus Tinsley!!

April 27, 2023Marcus was amazing!
We hired Marcus for our wedding and he was a one-stop shop for all our needs. He brought all his own equipment, served as our MC for the entire evening, provided background acoustics, managed playlists for us, and had a phenomenal performance. Music is such an important part of a wedding and we couldn't have asked for more! Our guests were extremely impressed of his vocals and were complimentary of his energy he brought to the evening. He far exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend Marcus!

December 27, 2021Amazing performer!
After watching over some of Marcus’s videos, we quickly decided he’d be the perfect fit to play at our annual corporate holiday party. He did an absolutely OUTSTANDING job for our party. He did a great job Interacting with all 150+ guests and making sure everyone was having a great time. Throughout his show we were able to submit song requests/announcements to his wife, which she relayed back to him, making the entire performance go very smoothly. They arrived early, were very professional and were extremely responsive to all our guests’ requests. I will definitely have them back out again in the future!
