Feedback

  • Sharrif played for our wedding ceremony last month. He was fantastic. We had some unusual song requests that he learned for us an did wonderfully...better than the originals! He was set up and already playing by the time he was supposed to be there. Everyone loved him...I think every guest commented on how much they enjoyed the music. We could not be happier! -- Chante G, Huntington Beach, CA, 9/30/2008
  • Would not hesitate to hire Sharif again -- he really does have a great voice and is very talented. Everyone at the event enjoyed his music! -- Mickey B, Santa Ana, CA, 9/13/2008
  • Sharif did a fabulous job for my mom's 60th birthday. He is extremely talented and put on a great show appealing to all ages. He was on time, very professional, accomodating and above everything else, he is a very nice person. It says a lot when at least 4 or 5 people said to me they want to have a party just to have him play. I can't express how pleased we were with Sharif and his performance and the ease of working with him and gigmasters. -- Cori V, Palm Springs, CA, 4/26/2008
