Beautiful, well organised and great entertainment. Full of energy, Tashara got everyone up dancing.Highly recommended! Thank you - Sheila 


Tashara sang one of my favourites songs, 'You're a Star', at my son's dedication in June and we all loved it. It felt as if she had written it just for his special day and she actually sang it to him which really made it so beautiful. He is just 18 months old but he was captivated. Her delivery was seamless and very professional, actually, something happened to her mic as she was singing and she just continued as if nothing happened and did a very subtle signal to the sound guy at the church, who then turned her mic back on. Thank you Tashara, I can't wait for you to release 'You're a Star' so that I can buy an autographed CD for us to enjoy at home. It's a very inspirational song that speaks to my heart, in both happy and troubled times. God bless you Xx - Maxine


Fantastic. Professional punctual service! Would definitely recommend! Amazing vocalist!- Chanelle 


Thank you so much for entertaining at my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Everyone thought you were fantastic. Great voices, engaging and so entertaining. Great night had by all. Cheers, would definitely like to see you all perform again - Christine 


Thank you for partying hard and giving your all at Jo and Chris’s party last weekend. You guys made it a night to remember. Beautiful voice and super talented - Sarah 


Tashara performed twice on our Piano Stage at Hope Festival this year. We all hope she will return next year as she was one of the highlights of the weekend. All of us that were fortunate enough to hear her sing were astounded and delighted by the quality of her performance and charmed by the warmth of her personality. Tashara, we would love you to help us celebrate Hope Festival's 25th anniversary next year, you were brilliant -  The Hope Festival


I highly rate Tashara as an artist. She will deliver soul, creativity and professionalism to your event. She is 100% committed to what she does and it pays off. We worked together on a youth event where we needed a singer to work alongside a DJ. We were pushing boundaries in terms of what we'd done before and Tashara helped make it happen. I would not hesitate in working with her again. Book her and you won't be disappointed - Lisa Cavey 


Excellent performance. Would recommend to anyone family or friends doing an event. If your anywhere near Cardiff please let us know and we will come and see you - Bruce Jack 


I booked Tashara for my birthday and she definitely brought the party vibe. Tashara is an outstanding singer and entertainer. She is also very organised and efficient, and I would definitely recommend and rebook her. She totally delivered! Thanks again Tashara - KC 


I booked Tashara for my daughters christening. She was absolutely awesome. Tashara is blessed with her voice and is a beautiful soul. She sang her own song that was very deep and meaningful. I would definitely recommend you to book Tashara to sing at your event. Sending love, positive energy and blessings your way Tashara and thanks again for making my daughters christening complete - Melinda Thompson 


I'm a great fan of Tashara. I've seen her live on stage with Soul II Soul have seen her work as a solo artist. She has a great talent and is amazingly professional. She is very dedicated and passionate about what she does. Fantastic entertainment for any event -
