I've recently moved to the St. Augustine area after a decade of being a full-time musician in Charleston, SC. In Charleston, I loved being a part of weddings and events. A great way to meet and perform for people on their best days! Along with putting care into my musical performances, I also set a high standard of professionalism for myself, and surround myself with other musicians who take pride in clear communication, and punctuality.

Since 2008, I have set out to help my clients and their guests get their party on! Since the start, I have applied my experience from a decade of working in radio and my degree in Communications to making events the best-run and most fun I possibly can. I want you to enjoy your time with guests, and I want what I do to add to that enjoyment. I love working with people to create experiences that are truly reflections of themselves, their guests, and their events. I am available for weddings, parties, fundraisers, class reunions, corporate events, and more. Let's discuss your next event and get moving on getting you and your guests moving!

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I love weddings! There is nothing grander than providing couples with their own personal "soundtrack" for the greatest day of their lives. I provide myself as a music consultant whether as a musician or DJ, utilizing top quality sound equipment and the utmost level of professionalism.
