Very professional. Powerful voice.

Ricky was very professional from the minute that I requested a quote. He’s very sincere, he sent his condolences to me and my family and thanked me for booking him. He contacted me when he was in route to my husband’s funeral and was on time and ready to deliver his powerful and uplifting voice through songs. The family couldn’t stop talking about him after the service. I’m very happy that I chose him to sing at my husband’s funeral and I promise you won’t regret choosing him for your event.

Absolutely amazing experience

This was my first time hiring a singer and I'll be honest and say it was the best decision I ever made. Absolutely loved working with him, he was warm and personable and he brought a beautiful ambience to my fathers memorial. The song choices were perfect and he even sung again at the pastors request. I hope to work with him again in the future. Thank you so much!
