David is fantastic! We loved him.

I hired David to perform at an art opening for the 2nd Annual Oahu Open Studios Event and everyone loved him. Even after the event, I've had people mentioned to me about how much they loved him. His beautiful voice blended with his great guitar playing was such a sweet combination. I would absolutely hire him again if the opportunity arises and I highly recommend him to others. Thank you David!

She said YES!

I recently hired Mister Teo to sing to my girlfriend before I proposed to her. I was so nervous, sweating bullets. Mister Teo sang my girlfriend's favorite songs under a very starry sky atop Hawaii Loa Ridge. It was perfect and I am so glad that I went with this very talented musician. When I made a mistake during my proposal Mister Teo helped me to cover it up by playing guitar. The main point is that he made my proposal a success and we will be booking Mister Teo for our August wedding. Thank you Mister Teo, I looking forward to another great performance at our reception.

Best birthday party

David was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!!!! He played all me favorite songs from Motown and even knew super recent cover songs by Fun. and Pink. The best part of the night was when my 6 year old daughter requested "Call Me Maybe", a song I was sure that David would shake his head at... but he was so cool and fun about having the kids come up and sing along with him. They were so happy. My birthday party was a great success because of David's amazing voice and fun attitude. He is the most professional musician I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Highly recommended!! Thank you again, David. And thank you to my sister, that "found" David singing at her country club event.

Phenomenal, awesome professional

We hired David to do a promotion ceremony for us on Hickam Air Force base. He exceeded our expectations, was very prompt, and came neatly dressed. My commanding officer and all in attendance were quite impressed. David's repertoire was exceptional, and his song selections couldn't have been more appropriate and lively. David's talent surely added to an already memorable event. Book him, he delivers and is well worth the investment of ensuring the music at your event is a success.
