Review by Tayna S.

Private PartyReviewed on August 30, 2024From New York City, NY

What a pianist! We were blown away by his versatility and talent. He started the evening with moody, elegant jazz, and as the party progressed, he switched to more upbeat tunes that had everyone dancing. One guest even requested "Come Fly With Me" by Frank Sinatra, and he flawlessly played it on the spot, letting the guest sing along. Thanks to his beautiful performance and professionalism, we all had an amazing time. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a top-notch pianist.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on August 23, 2024From New York City, NY

We recently hosted a private party at a restaurant in NYC for around 100 clients and prospects, and Takeru was the perfect choice for our event. After watching his solo piano video, we knew his style(mixture of pop and jazz) was exactly what we were looking for, and we booked him right away. Takeru impressed us with his professionalism at every level—his communication was seamless, and his performance was nothing short of extraordinary. We requested a few specific songs in advance, and he masterfully integrated them into a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere that made our event special. We’d definitely have him perform at a future event. Thank you so much!!
