October 15, 2019Professional, Experienced, and Delightful
As a piano teacher, my request for Mr. Tasin was a bit unusual as I wanted a professional singer for my piano students to accompany. Additionally, I wanted this to be done in front of the others students and their parents so they may learn as well.
Mete not only provided his amazing voice, but was very educational and interactive as well. He dressed the part, sang the part, taught the part, and interacted with the group (now his adoring fans. One is even planning to call him for a special event).
I could not be more pleased. My students are even more invigorated, the parents are inspired, and I am feeling both, seeing again and again how music and live performers changes lives.
I need to add -I've had my students listen to MANY recordings, but absolutely NOTHING beats a live performance. If you have any doubts about hiring Mete, erase them. If you have thoughts that perhaps I can save some money and just play a couple recordings from Youtube, Pandora, etc...erase those as well. You will doing yourselves a great service and creating memories by having Mete perform at any event you plan.
Again, Mete, thank you a thousand times over!!!!!!!

March 16, 2016A consummate professional and What a Voice!
From the first phone call I made to Mete, Mete made it easy. I was planning a funeral mass for my father during an emotional time for me with a very short timeline. Mete was right there answering my questions and being very sensitive to my feelings that were all over the place. He also followed up to ensure all the details were correct. He allowed us as a family to honor our father with lovely music. Mete's voice was rich and beautiful. Having him sing brought an entire new dimension to the mass, a solemnity but at the same time uplifting. When he sang it truly lifted us. We wanted this mass to be special and having Mete perform the music did just that. He was on time, there were no glitches; he was professional. I recommend Mete for any event that requires a professional with a magnificent voice. I cannot thank him enough or say enough good things about him for making this important occasion special.
