5 out of 5

It was a pleasure to work alongside such a nice guy with amazing talent. Songs were very current, mixed with older tracks and I loved Ali's style and interpretation of them all. Much respect for making them his own, especially the mashups. Fully recommended for any event that wants some live entertainment with an edge. Can't forget to say, beautiful voice to top it off!

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
