• Absolutly the best one man show you could possibly have for your event. Good mix of music performed at the highest level. Will learn new music for you too. -- Jim P, Key Largo, FL, 6/30/2010
• Omar was excellent for our party. He plays a wide variety of music and does so with incredible talent. His voice is as good as his guitar skills. He was very acommodating to us and even invited us to hear him perform at a local venue prior to signing a contract. He created a great ambiance for our party and people were very impressed with him. We will most definitely hire him again in the future. -- David L, Weston, FL, 12/11/2010
