I'm a cellist based in Nassau County, Long Island NY, with a decade of professional music experience under my belt. I offer a wide range of performances for various events such as weddings, corporate functions, concerts, and more. My repertoire includes classical, pop, jazz, oldies, and contemporary music, among others. Additionally, I run an in-home studio and am a recording artist. Music is my passion, and I'm always eager to share it!

You may opt to mix and match musicians and parts according to your event's length and style. All my musicians come equipped with a speaker system, and I am fully insured with the ability to provide proof of insurance upon request. Note that I do not provide microphones.

My booking process is straightforward - I will first inquire about your required music groups and musician availability. I tailor pricing based on the distance of the venue, time spent performing, number of musicians, instruments, and amount of material learned. You need not decide on your song requests immediately but ideally at least a month ahead of your event. Once we establish your music requirements, I will require information to write the contract and send a down payment. From there, I'll remain in touch as your event draws near and welcome a phone call to discuss details through.

As a newcomer to CrackerJack, I reached out to several musicians in search of wedding ceremony music. Fortunately, James promptly replied and proceeded to impress me with his diligent follow-up skills. Additionally, his communication style was polished, and he was accommodating in terms of available options.

Working with James and his team was delightful. Their musicianship was exceptional and the pricing was reasonable, considering the lovely atmosphere created by Juneyt, the violinist, during my "meet and greet". Juneyt arrived early, dressed professionally, and set the mood for my guests with cheerful tunes.

Despite the short notice, James readily accepted to perform at our company event and proved to be a pleasure to collaborate with. He allowed me to select the music of my choice, and also came prepared with his own discography. The group was thoroughly entertained by the diversity of his performance, where he seamlessly transitioned from classical to holiday tunes, and even Disney music! Additionally, he had pre-recorded music to play during intervals, which was a thoughtful gesture. James was an absolute delight, and I highly recommend him for any such musical engagements.
