Jules is an amazing singer, performer, consummate professional with great presence, generosity and a wide repertoire. For our small intimate get together he brought superb pro equipment, arranged it and took all our requests to make a brilliant night. It's rare to find someone so talented, professional and fun. We were very lucky. Best way to start our 2022. Thank you Jules 🙏🏾🎉☀️
