TESTIMONIALS
"Imani’s playing always creates a relaxed atmosphere for Playhouse theatre goers. His musical repertoire is sure to enhance any social setting" (Rachel Coles, Head Of Press, West Yorkshire Playhouse)
"Imani Hekima is a fantastic piano player who is always willing to adapt and learn new and different tunes. I used his skills at the University of Bradford Dissemination event to welcome guests through the morning and lunch. The mixture in tunes of best English and Bollywood showed a good variety for everybody to enjoy. I would recommend him for other events, weddings and receptions anytime" (Aweis Asghar - Envisage Group on behalf of the University of Bradford DREAMS Project)
