Amazing team!!

We booked Justin and his team of two drummers, Jesse and Aedryan for our wedding. They were so awesome and we had so much fun with them. Justin provided DJ, emcee and drumming services and was our point of contact throughout the planning process. He was very professional, patient and easy to work with. Our friends and family LOVED having the percussion team there (with triangles) and some of them even got to do some drumming too. We are still getting compliments a week later! We planned to make our first dance one of the “big” moments of the night and Justin took on some extra work of coordinating an awesome drum accompaniment for our dance. We are so grateful for the memories that were made possible by this! Thank you so much, Justin.

After the reception ended, Aedryan joined us for the after party and played/sang acoustic guitar requests! It was such a nice was to keep the party going.

We highly recommend Soul Graffiti for your next event.

Best,

Brooke & Billy

Justin is the best, his passion is unmatched.

It is hard to put into words just how grateful we are for all of Justin’s hard work for our wedding day. We knew we could trust the talented crew at Soul Graffiti the moment we spoke to them. The attention to detail and awesome communication made the experience extremely stress free. Then on the day of, our expectations were greatly exceeded! On the biggest of your life it’s important to surround yourself with people that have positive energy and a great attitude. Justin was not only a very talented musician, sound technician and dj, but an all around great person. We highly recommend Soul Graffiti for your next event, big or small this team will provide nothing but a top notch experience!!

Best decision ever!

I was looking for a band for my event and I was fortunate to find them while searching online. They were extremely responsive and very easy to communicate with. On the day of the event, they came and set up early to make sure everything was ready to start on time. The duo was very well liked by the guests and made the event feel much more special. I would work with them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to friends and family.

A beautiful band - a river of sound

The name of the band --Honey of the Heart-- sounds all smooth and soft but that belies their eclectic musical style and versatile musicianship. They performed for my company retreat outdoors during sunset and set the exact vibe we needed to both energize and heal us. They were able to lift us up and confirm our own righteous path with a river of sound. Very strong vocals, expert guitar, a mellow stand-up bass, and creative beatbox percussion created the whole band. Plus, great communication and professionalism. Highly recommend.
