Great selection of songs - beautifully delivered with your unique vocal ability - which made known lyrics sound emotive without the unnecessary bass and background chaos we come to expect from live bands and covers singers. You really are talented!!

SAIMENA 50th Gala Dinner entertainment.
We were very pleased with the excellent performance by Jacques Steyn. Setting up the event with him was easy and professionally done.
His entertainment for the evening was perfect, and he matched his repertoire and performance to exactly match the ambiance of the evening and the expectations of the guests.
We would highly recommend Jacques Steyn for his talented singing and playing and overall great entertainment.
