Trent is an absolute beast —almost telepathic !!
I couldn’t be happier —will be using him again
Thanks so much - check_circleVerified
Trent is amazing, and amazingly fast!! He was born with a harmonica in his mouth! Now I understand why his reviews are consistently so high. We were overwhelmed with the variety of his ability to create different levels of improvisation within one song. We know there are plenty of good professionals on the soundbetter website. But Trent gives so much variety for such a small fee that we won’t look anywhere else. And he will be our top referral to others. Thank you!!!!
