Five Star Review: Children’s Birthday Party- Manhattan, NYC

Visit jojoSOUL on YELP!

Stacy G.- Manhattan, NY- “While trying to figure out what to do during covid for my daughter who was turning 8, I decided on a small group of 8 for a party at our house. I wanted a dj who would make my daughter and her party shine and that’s just what Jojo did. He showed up early and stayed late. He was a hit with the 8 year olds and even the 2 little brothers that came. He brought all of his equipment and did a full set up. He played all the music we requested prior and all requests on the day of.

I highly recommend JoJo if you’re looking for someone to add fun to your party!!”

Performance at Brooklyn Botanic Garden with Babacar Top

Babacar and I have been working on a new production at our Rehearsal Residency in Downtown Brooklyn, which we premiered at the Botanic Garden for “Art in the Garden: Fall Sundays”.

The Garden allowed for enough space to have an audience all around us, spread out throughout the Water Garden section of the park. We set up the drum set near a small pond, and our choreography included our movement around a great tree and moving through the grass. It was a great event on a beautiful day, many thanks to Babacar Top and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Catch the performance next Sunday also, 10/25, and be sure to buy tickets in advance! Brooklyn Botanic Garden
