Naiko's Reviews

5 out of 5

Naiko was superb at our event: he was amenable to all of our requests and was absolutely charming to deal with prior and during the party. So many of our guests commented on how good he was. He read the group extremely well and despite us not particularly intending to have everyone up dancing. He was super accommodating with us using his PA to make speeches even after he'd finished and I was really touched with how lovely he was with our learning disabled son. In all I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks so much Naiko.

Big Thank You to Naiko for performing at our event. He was easy to communicate with and arrived with plenty of time to spare. Music and vocals were amazing! Added a great atmosphere to the day. Thanks again :)

Naiko made our engagement party the best night of our lives! His voice is absolutely unreal, he hit notes I didn’t know were possible & his voice goes into your soul. Every guest I spoke to commented on how incredible his voice is & asked me where I found him,we were all blown away. I requested songs that would get people dancing & Naiko did just that, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had; he also played a special song for my fiancé & I to have a first dance too which was such a beautiful touch. We can’t thank Naiko enough, he went above and beyond, he was also speedy at communication & punctuality. I & my guests will be hiring Naiko again & again, we highly recommend. He is also such a beautiful gentle soul…Thank you Naiko!

Not good. No basking tracks was just like a street busker. Members left half way the evening. Disappointed

I'm very sorry you were disappointed Trevor, it's also shame that you yourself weren't at the event since you were in hospital. I can appreciate that my style will not be everyone's taste and since your audience was of the elder generation they may have expected somethings that were not on my repertoire, which I always encourage people to check through before finalising a booking. My promo video is a raw footage of my live performance with no extra editing, so I'm also hoping you looked at that before booking me. I also rely heavily on backing tracks so not knowing of my using these tracks affirms that you were not there physically to see me play, and who ever relayed this message was either not in the room or in a mindset to make up a lie and communicate this to you.

Dear Naiko, Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for playing at my 50th Birthday Party and your selected playlist was perfect and guests were equally complimentary of your performance and you have certainly gained additional fans. From start to finish you have been an absolute pleasure to deal with and I look forward to watching you play again soon and wish you all the success in your music career. Highly recommend Naiko ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I walked past Naiko whilst he was singing in Bracknell one day. I loved the sound of his voice so took a photo of his Instagram sign and when I got home I showed my husband his videos. He agreed that Naiko would be great for our party we were planning. So we booked him! All of our guests loved his voice. His performance really was the talking point of the evening, with everyone saying how brilliant he was. Lots of people asked for his business cards so they could book too. I’m so glad I walked past Naiko in Bracknell that day. Thankyou again!
