    Performing in the Capital View Ballroom, Hyatt Regency, Sacramento
    Kevin C.

    Talented, original and professional all describe why I hired Joey to entertain at our annual conference dinner. His professional approach and follow through was very appreciated and his equipment was top notch. His unique entertainment was just what I wanted to create the memory stamp of this event. Everyone was unaware of their "bopping" while enjoying dinner. At one point, a group hijacked the microphone and began free styling giving the night a hilarious ending. He's a One & Only!

    Joey playing the cello to Mariachi music. He was able to represent the bride and groom's cultures!

    Joey does not disappoint! He played the cello live for my wedding as well as DJ the dance music. I wanted the music personalized to our cultures and he did just that. Joey went so far as wearing traditional hats that represented both our cultures when he played the music on the cello. He also did a great job bringing people to the dance floor and brought the hype! 100% recommend Joey.

Every musician in the band was outstanding. They accommodated all of our requests, including an extra long hora. :) All of our guests loved them and it was so refreshing to have 'real' music at our daytime event. Their price was extremely reasonable to boot! We highly recommend Hella Fitzgerald - they were fantastic!

    A musician's dream!…read more Per the recommendation of our wedding planner, we worked with Hella Fitzgerald for our wedding in Big Sur, CA in August 2023. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I am a musician myself and had a lot of specifications for what I wanted throughout our ceremony, first dance, and dancing portions of the evening. And I mean a LOT of specifications! Music is something I am very particular about. Lilan worked closely with me on everything from which 2nd singer to hire to match the feel we wanted (the band works with various singers) to learning new songs that we had requested to adjusting songs to specific BPMs!!! She never seemed to lose her patience with me and would text me randomly with ideas or singer leads. One time she even texted me a couple vocal riffs she sang into her phone to see what I would prefer. We wanted a fun, sexy, big band feel and a talented group of musicians who could perform soul, Latin, swing, R&B, and everything in between. That is exactly what we got. We never left the dance floor. Thank you HF!

Booked them last December for a 70th BD party to be held May 2. Paid the deposit at the same time. Communicating with Jose the week prior I requested the trio set up an hour before the event started so no last minute sound checks etc. and the evening could start on time and go smooth. Needed a live mike so BD speeches could be made prior to their start time. He said not a problem. The BD started at 5 PM, still no trio. Dinner started at 6:15 PM, still no trio. Booked to play from 7 to 9 PM. Were they even going to show up ? No communication with either myself or the venue. Band showed up at 6:45ish to set up after the evening was in full swing. No apology yet (from Jose who I had negotiated the event with) and was told by Luis, the evenings lead, was all they knew they were hired to play from 7 to 9. TOTAL lack of professionalism in running your business and communicating with your client. Will NEVER recommend your business to any potential future clients. I would NEVER want my friends to go thru the same stress and anxiety we experienced last night.

For…read morestarters, he brings a great blend of laid-back willingness to meet any idea or request, with a sharp music acumen and event expertise. He worked with us during each step of the planning process, never pressing, to amplify our vision. A special shout out for a meaningful family/bridal party/etc. song. Playing a particular remix of a song we like. Nailing down particular subgenres during each stage of the night. Attentive to our song dislikes and "no plays". But at the same time, adding his expert feel and live touch for what the crowd was wanting. Zeb and his team built standout moments - our crowd even started a room-wide conga line (who does that anymore?). And a shout-a-long of Bohemian Rhapsody as our closer for the night. And the live sax fusion... everyone kept commenting about that being their favorite part of the night. At the same time, he simplified all of our anxieties in what can be a whale of a planning process. He got our mindset/vision immediately and was the perfect amount of helpful in steering us to the best party ever.

Zebuel is not only an amazing musician and DJ, but also the curator of event excellence. He brought to life with his team a NOLA influenced second-line to keep our wedding celebrations alive post ceremony, heading into the reception with instruments and all the bells & whistles. Not only was this an epic highlight for our guests, but something my husband and I only thought could happen in our dreams! He truly listened to our wants/needs with flawless execution, but above all else, went above & beyond to ensure this was the best day/night of our lives. From lighting, a DJ/live instrument fusion, and photography from So Good Photobooth, we could not recommend this Team more for your next special event ~ whether corporate or personal! Because of this Team, we had an unforgettable and picture-perfect event filled with our favorite people and the musical experience of our lifetime. Thank you Sounds Elevated for rockin us forward into marriage & beyond!

I'm in my late thirties and have no previous experience with music. I had been wanting to learn to play the drums for a while, but the idea of starting from nothing at this age was daunting. I couldn't be happier that I reached out to Jason. He's really good at what he does. Each lesson plan is well thought out and engaging. He does a great job of explaining the exercises and how they fit into the macroscopic viewpoint of drumming. Jason's an amazing drummer and a kind, genuine human being. He creates a great environment that provides for a safe space to learn, all while challenging you to grow. I highly recommend Jason if you're looking for an instructor. I trust his process and always look forward to the next lesson.

Jason didn't just teach my 9-year-old daughter how to play drums, he exposed her to new musical genres and both classic and contemporary songs. I can't stress enough how great he is with kids; he really knows how to make the lessons fun and tailor the experience to individual students and their interests.
