Overview

One guitar. Infinite sound. Live, looping, and flowing like a DJ set.

Ideal for private events, weddings, corporate gatherings, and gallery openings, music moves seamlessly from one vibe to the next - no backing tracks, just live musicianship and real-time creativity.

Beautiful music, professional and courteous musician.

Vita was fabulous for our Bleecker Street block party! We have a store specializing in Kenyan dresses and he has a lovely range, including West African music. He was sweet and courteous, even came early to set up and stayed a bit later than we had booked him for. We can't recommend him highly enough.
