I have had the pleasure of working with him for over six years, both as a fellow musician and as a bandleader, hiring him for a variety of performances. Over this time, Jerome has consistently proven to be a highly skilled, dependable, and adaptable musician. Jerome is a versatile performer, proficient in a wide range of musical styles, and effortlessly adapts to new genres when required. His readiness to rehearse and dedication to every gig—big or small—are qualities I have come to appreciate deeply. He approaches each performance with full preparation, punctuality, and a commitment to excellence that is rare and highly valued. Beyond technical skill, Jerome brings an infectious energy to rehearsals and performances alike. His positive attitude and enthusiasm radiate on stage, creating an engaging experience that resonates with audiences and fellow musicians alike. Working with him is always enjoyable, as he fosters an environment of camaraderie and fun that enhances the overall performance. In summary, Jerome is a reliable, talented, and uplifting presence, both on and off stage. I have no doubt that he will bring the same level of professionalism, skill, and joy to your team. I recommend him wholeheartedly for any musician role on board. Sincerely, Dana Kemack Goot Bandleader, The Klezmets"

"We couldn’t have asked for a better band to play at our wedding than Esotika Band! From the very first moment we contacted them, they were incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and open to all of our song requests. They really listened to what we wanted for our big day and made it happen perfectly. On the day of the wedding, they exceeded all our expectations. The music was absolutely fantastic—every song was beautifully performed, and the energy they brought to the event was contagious! Our guests were dancing non-stop, and so many of them commented on how amazing the band was. What really stood out to us was how they adapted to the mood of the evening, shifting from romantic ballads during the ceremony to high-energy hits at the reception. Their performance made the entire celebration even more memorable. If you’re looking for a professional, talented band with a huge range of music styles and amazing live performances, Esotika Band is the way to go. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding without them!"
