"The Keys made our wedding unforgettable! From the very beginning, they went above and beyond, even assisting with the microphones during speeches to ensure everything ran smoothly. The saxophonist was a perfect touch during the welcome drinks, setting an elegant yet lively tone for the evening. Once the party kicked off, the band's energy was contagious, and they had every single person on the dance floor. Their talent and professionalism truly elevated our celebration. We couldn't have asked for a better group to create such an amazing atmosphere—highly recommend The Keys for any special occasion!"

"We are so proud. Anita played and sang in our place in 2017 at least 10 times. It was an absolutely great and professional performance. Our clients and staff enjoyed it every time and after every event we had requests from our clients for the next event. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Anita and we hope to arrange another set of autumn performances this year. "

"Ed was just brilliant; he played exactly the style of music we had requested and kept a perfect mood throughout the whole evening. He started a little bit early and finished a little bit late. All our guests remarked upon his professionalism and his musical talent. He was simply the best! He listened to what we described as our perfect musical evening and he delivered perfection. His mellow jazz style set the tone for the evening and everyone loved his music. It was not intrusive, but it was always there. That ensured there were no dull silences during dinner. In addition, he was a perfect gentleman…something of a rarity these days. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone."

"Edward performed on our wedding on the 31 May 2021 and we could simply not have asked for a better choice! When you plan a wedding, you are literary dealing with a million things and various suppliers at the same time and this can be very overwhelming and stressful. As soon as we connected with Edward, we immediately felt reassured and that we don’t have to follow up with him at all, as he is extremely professional and responsible. The communication with him was very smooth and easy and he was also, very fast to get back to us - we just knew for sure, that the music will NOT be one of the things that we would have to worry about on that day! Also, apart from the fast that he is greatly talented in what he does, he was very flexible with our special song requests too, which also made our planning easier and of course our wedding day, even more special! Edward - Thank you so much for your great performance during our wedding and your overall help! We could not recommend you more to any one who is looking for an amazing and stress-free music option either for a social or corporate event!"

" He can give good guidance to my children and improve their skill. My children loved his lesson too much and got the levels in a short period."

"I first saw Steven at a bar in Cheltenham, then met him properly at a wedding I was running back in 2013. Since then I've booked him regularly and at every opportunity; from a Sunday piano session, to a weekend night of amazing covers, several weddings, a dinner party and a Friday night bar shake up! Steven can work a crowd, command a room or play background music. To top it off his voice is incredible. He is the best pianist and vocalist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. If you are remotely in doubt, pop on his website or see him play on a night. Five stars, a sheer talent, and there isn't anyone better."

"Me and my staff hosted the Moon and Silver Duo for our Christmas Party this year and I have to admit that it was great, they created the perfect atmosphere that we were looking for, they played a beautiful songs list with jazz and Christmas songs that our guests really enjoyed. Great vibe and great sound! "

"Thanks for a thrilling performance, Gabriel. There is no doubt that your mastery of piano and keyboard is imminent. While I can barely play piano, I do listen as I did when I was last in Sydney. That you have come so far, with such a large repertoire of both classical and South American masterworks, is not presented in what is a grouping of informal music. May I commend you on the interesting variations of intonation that you are able to express. Your technique is enviable. I am unfortunately not an expert in critique. What may help you as you press on to a rating of 102 out of 95, are some observations. That the Kwai is good is undoubted, and even with the Beale that you played upstairs in Allans, before Allans closed, the Pitt Street store, compared against the longer Yamaha Grand that you also played, in any of these, the higher octaves can sound a bit thin against the richness of the lower and middle registers. There were moments in My Way, when I sensed the thinness of the upper octaves. I thought also that as you had to reach so far, you had in fact more time than you think, to add more tone and meaning. I thought that you were a bit rushed at that point of the performance. You have all the skill necessary. Just take a little more time, particularly on your first right hand move into the upper octaves, to let the jazz notes fall like a sprinkling of rain. They are short notes and to fit them into strict time with such a large move up the keyboard, seems for a moment to squeeze the time you think you have to execute several high notes. Elsewhere in the several performance pieces, you extract a richness also in the higher octave notes. Well done. That the piece New York has syncopation and time changes is challenging. Your performed well. I do seem to think that you may benefit by understanding or viewing performances of tap dancers dancing to the piece. It is a difficult idiom, and not one I used to adore. So if we have experienced the dance moves, we may then relate better to the changes. Still very good playing. I so much enjoyed your performances. "

"Whether live or on livestream, a concert by Daniel is always a treat! Even if you think you've seen it all, you'll be surprised anew at every concert. He is an incredibly talented singer / songwriter who inspires his audience with his own compositions and well-chosen cover versions, which he very often gives his own touch. Daniel is a multi-instrumentalist and, depending on where in the world he plays, switches between languages (English, German, Danish, Spanish). This makes his concerts very varied and the gigs never get boring. Booking this artist is very easy and is highly recommended. - Hannes Wille (Scott Sports)"

"He's a great tutor! Learning piano with him is fun and engaging. If you're looking for someone to be slow and carefully explain to you concepts, this is the person to go to. He spends a lot of time with articulation and how you shouldn't press on the keyboard, but engage your fingers -- something very important for pianists. I never knew that prior to having lessons with him, he's very impressive and clear with his instruction! Great tutor, you won't regret signing up with him!"
