Kareem is such a talented artist and a pleasure to work with. I booked him for my Mom’s wedding (ceremony and cocktail hour) and he did an amazing job. His performance was a surprise for the newlyweds and their smiles at the end of his performance was all the proof I needed. The guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed him. Don’t hesitate to book Kareem for your events!!!

Kareem’s violin speaks every language of music—classical, pop, hip-hop, reggae, R&B, soca, calypso—each note played with a mastery that lingers long after the last chord fades. He captivates all ages and every level of dancer, mesmerizing hearts with the magic of his music. He performed for my daughter's 30th birthday celebration and his performance left such an impression that many guests are already planning to have him play at their future personal and Corproate events

Kareem Headley was absolutely incredible at our wedding! He played with such passion and elegance, and was truly one of the highlights of the day. Our guests could not stop raving about him—he was a huge hit!Honestly, I almost made the mistake of not having him perform, and I am so glad we decided to keep him on. His music set the perfect tone for our ceremony and reception, and elevated the entire atmosphere.Kareem is not only a talented musician, but also professional and easy to work with. If you’re considering live music for your event, don’t hesitate—book Kareem. You will not regret it!

We got married exactly one month ago, and hired Kareem for our wedding. We went to go see him play back in march just to make sure he was the vibe we were looking for and he absolutely delivered. He was simply phenomenal!His performance at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was nothing short of exceptional. He seamlessly blended a variety of genres, from R&B to reggae and soca, both old and new. He and his manager worked with us and listened to our requests when we ask for specific songs to play for Our ceremony. And whatever he couldn't deliver, he had alternatives/options.Kareem's talent and professionalism added a touch of black excellence & opulence to our special day. We're so grateful for his contribution to our perfect day.
