I recently had the pleasure of hiring Elijah for an event, and I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with their performance. This exceptional band seamlessly blended into the vibe of the party, creating an atmosphere that perfectly complemented the occasion. Their music choices were not only spot-on but also showcased their versatility and understanding of the audience. From the Wii theme song that got everyone so excited to soulful melodies that added a touch of elegance, the band demonstrated a remarkable ability to read the room and cater to the diverse tastes of the attendees. What truly set Elijah apart was their ability to elevate the entire event. Their passion for their craft was evident in every note, and it translated into an unforgettable experience for everyone present. The band's talent, professionalism, and infectious energy added an extra layer of excitement, making the event truly memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Elijah to anyone seeking not just a musical performance but an immersive and dynamic entertainment experience. Thank you for contributing to the success of Cultivarium's event—I look forward to the next opportunity to enjoy your incredible music!

Elijah was definitely one of the highlights of my mom's surprise 50th birthday party! He was professional, communicative, & a great singer!!! He put together a songlist that exactly aligned with what we were wanting to hear. He brought his equipment and set up right on time. He even was generous enough to stay longer than an hour so he can lend us his microphone for the party. Guests were complimenting him throughout the party. Thank you Elijah!!!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My quotes cover everything from setting up and packing down equipment to rehearsal time, transportation, and the duration of my presence at your event. It's all about making sure every detail is taken care of smoothly and transparently.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we begin with a consultation where we delve into the specifics of your event, including equipment requirements, venue logistics, desired set list, scheduling for setup and breakdown, thematic elements, and any other pertinent details. Following that, we address your budget and any other crucial considerations you wish to communicate. Finally, to confirm your booking, we secure your spot with a 50% deposit.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have immersed myself in music throughout my life, beginning with playing piano, guitar, bass, drums, and singing in church for over a decade and a half. This foundation led me to pursue formal training, starting with private lessons at Wheaton College MA, where I studied jazz piano, classical, and jazz voice. Additionally, I expanded my skills in contemporary voice at the Patrice Peris Vocal Studio. Currently, I am furthering my education at Berklee College of Music, focusing on specializing in R&B and soul genres. This journey reflects my dedication to exploring and mastering various musical styles while continuously striving for growth and excellence.
