Sang & played guitar for My Mom's 95th Bday

I cannot say enough about how FABULOUS Mikael was! It was my mom's 95th Birthday and none of us could be with her on a Wednesday & we are all scattered across the country. I just wanted something to make that day Special for her! He sang " Fly Me To The Moon" to her ( A family fav) and she was so Happy! He even had to wait patiently while she got out of the shower & got dressed, since this was a Surprise! She told all of us on a Family Zoom call just after he left that he was so adorable & had such an amazing voice, she couldn't stop talking about how wonderful it was! My neices BF videod it for all of us & I wish I could figure out how to post a clip of it! His voice is amazing and the expression on her face was priceless! It warmed all of kids, grandkids & great grandkids hearts! Thank you thank you Mikael for making that day so memorable and for your kindness ! Do not hesitate to hire him, he's such a wondefully gifted and amazing person!!
Just a sidenote, he did this with a last minute request, not even 24 hrs!

Very Talented and Professional

Mikael was hired to play for our holiday event and he crushed it! Our guests were all asking how we found him. Not only was his talent beyond what we expected but he was super easy to work with and very professional. I will not be surprised if he is a household name soon!
