We had her at a corporate cocktail reception and she was wondeful! She was the perfect ambiance for our reception and was so friendly to our attendees. She even was taking song requests and did an incredible job of adhereing to our schedule!

Audra G. - Reliance Partners

Ajaye is a delight to work with and an energetic performer. She reads the crowd and plays to their mood, while interspersing group favorites with her own creative originals. We will continue to seek her out for future performance opportunities.

Kristi S. - TrusteSolutions

Ajaye was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She communicated clearly, stayed flexible, and handled every challenge with grace. Even with an unusual load-in, limited equipment, constant volume adjustments, and no real break area, she stayed upbeat and professional the entire time. The client loved her performance, and we can’t wait to work with her again.

Kathy T. - Hello! Destination Management

“Ajaye provided music for a corporate event in Nashville. Her music and singing were such high quality and her overall presence was the perfect addition to the event. It made it about music, but allowed great conversation as well. I am also so impressed with her professionalism . Ajaye is a class act that would be the perfect fit for many types of events.”

Kristen M. - LeadingAgeNY

Our business would not be as successful as it is without AJAYE consistently holding down our rooftop entertainment each week. She truly has become our flagship artist for The Lookout at Ole Red.

Andy R. - Opry Entertainment Group

Ajaye did a wonderful job. From having a complete playlist to taking requests from the audience, she performed flawlessly. Ajaye was on time, professional, communicated well during our planning and was a pleasure to work with and watch perform. We would use her again at a future event.

Doug G. - Steves Doors

I can't say enough wonderful things about Ajaye — everything about the experience was perfect! I hired her to play at my boyfriend's 60th birthday in a cozy lounge for ~50 guests. The moment she started singing, I knew I’d hit the jackpot. Her country/folk/soft rock vibe was exactly right for the space and crowd. I expected her to be “good” based on demos, but she far exceeded that — warm, friendly, and incredibly talented. Every song from Journey to Garth Brooks just felt right. She truly made the night more special. Everyone kept asking, “Where’d you find her?!” and the bar manager even said, “We’re having her back.” Thank you, Ajaye, for making Bob’s birthday so memorable. Can’t wait to hear you again!
