Service: Voice development and vocal composition lessons
Finding a voice instructor who tailors lessons specifically to your needs is truly rewarding. I've noticed significant improvements in my technique and vocal health. The positivity and expertise make me eagerly await each session.

Service: DJ services and live musical performances at social events
I’ve booked Gui a few times over the past 3-4 years for our weekly sunset electronic events in Madeira and for a December festival we run. He did DJ sets and live performances, sometimes grabbing the mic to speak with the crowd and sometimes bringing an ARP and mixing it into the set - he jumps, moves a lot, and really lifts the vibe. Communication is super quick and objective, he shows up on time, stays serious till the end, and he was even a speaker at one of our festivals. Price felt very fair and honestly he’s been kind with his fee, so we keep inviting him back because we love his work.

Service: Hired her for a boat festival for my business, she was one of the 3 DJ's
Our experience with her at the boat festival in the South of Portugal was unforgettable. We enjoyed her vibrant music style so much that we couldn't resist asking her to DJ at our wedding as well. She created a wonderful atmosphere, mixing our favorite songs with her immense talent and amazing team.

Service: DJ'd at the VIP lounge for TEDx Marvila event
I invited Carl to be responsible for the VIP lounge at TEDx Marvila, he was DJing there, and we were so happy, both us as organizers and our guests. I just explained a little that it is a VIP lounge at an educational conference and about the people attending, and he was so attentive and provided music what they liked. We didn’t have any problems with timing or deadlines, he organized all meetings with our audio and video provider and worked together very well, and he is quite independent and senior so we didn’t need to explain him any details. He even invited me as a guest to his event after TEDx, and he volunteered his time for us.

Service: Costume design and styling, custom dressmaking, production design support
I’m a filmmaker and have worked with Juliette on a few projects for costume design, styling and a bit of production design. On one film she designed dresses for a dream sequence - she got the fabric, sewed them and they were really well crafted, and she was there from pre-production and saw the whole art direction through for almost a year. She’s super talented, very, very diligent, very communicative and responsive, super dynamic and high spirits, very minutious and attentive to detail, and she got along with the whole team which is a big plus. Pricing felt fair and she was flexible on the rate, and overall she’s such a joy to work with.

Service: Hugo is my go-to DJ at my beach restaurant in the Algarve, playing party soul and 80's music
Running a restaurant by the beach can get hectic, but Hugo's DJ gigs have been a game-changer for me. His perfect communication and knack for bringing in customers make him indispensable. Hugo's vibrant spirit, along with his love for party soul and 80's music, keeps the good vibes rolling.
