she
was
able to create a mix that connected to each person in attendance. Even people outside of the venue were

asking how they could get in because of her music! Chika took all sorts of demographics and the style of the
event
in
mind to create a perfect playlist that was enjoyed by every guest there. I cannot recommend her enough!”

It can be pretty demanding working in the political environment with constant changes and stringent guidelines but Chika was so professional throughout, nothing was an issue. She really knows how to work a crowd! The music played was so apt for our theme and she kept the crowd energized while everyone waited for the Senator to take the stage. Thank you Chika!!!"
