Chris is always eager to provide and show you what they have in the studio to make your experience as professional as possible. They have almost everything you can think of or didn't think of in the studio. He helped us to get set up, made sure the equipment was working and gave us an orientation since it was our first time there. Acoustically, it's great. Walking down the hall, the other band was really cranking it and you could hear them playing through the door in Studio A. But once we got into Studio B, we couldn't hear anything else except ourselves. They also keep everything clean and as sterile as possible. I walked in on him wiping things down and vacuuming giving me confidence that I was entering a clean environment. Our very first band practice was a success thanks to West One Studios. We just needed a little more time for practice which I'm sure we will on our next one that will be very soon! Except for the lack of close/cheap parking I would definitely recommend these studios. Mahalo nui loa Chris and Torie for a great experience! We will see you again soon!

I had the honor of working with Brandon Onishi during one of the most difficult and emotional times…read morein my life -- my mother's funeral. From the very beginning, Brandon was incredibly kind, professional, and easy to work with. He communicated with me by phone and text, which made everything simple and smooth during a time when I had so many things on my mind. We were able to quickly secure the date, and the booking process was very easy. I paid the deposit through Venmo and the balance at the event. On the day of the service, Brandon handled everything beautifully. His setup and breakdown were effortless, and his music created such a meaningful atmosphere throughout the entire evening. During the funeral program, his music added a level of comfort and reflection that truly touched everyone in attendance. What made the day even more special was the music he played during the dinner reception afterward. It brought warmth to the room and allowed family and friends to gather, share memories, and celebrate my mom's life together. One moment that meant so much to me personally was when Brandon took the time to learn a song just for the service -- "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack. Hearing that song played live during the service was incredibly emotional and moving. Many people who attended told me how powerful and beautiful that moment was. Later on, Brandon shared with me that he now performs that song at other events because of how meaningful it was. Knowing that a small piece of my mom's memory continues through the music he plays is something that means a lot to me. If you are ever looking for someone to provide music for a special event, I cannot recommend Brandon Onishi enough. His professionalism, talent, and genuine care truly made a difference on a day that meant everything to my family.

His music stands out because he's not merely a musician, he's an artist who sings and plays from the heart and connects with this audience.

Working with Toshi and his team at Spectrum Entertainment was honestly like hitting the jackpot for…read moreour wedding. We still talk about how lucky we were to find them. Not only is Toshi an incredible DJ and MC, but he's the kind of professional who clearly pours his heart into his work. The sound, the lighting, the equipment... everything was top‑tier. You can tell he invests in quality, and it truly elevated the entire atmosphere of our celebration. What really stood out was how present and supportive he was throughout the whole process. From the early planning stages to the final moments of the night, Toshi was right there with us--organized, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. He worked seamlessly with our amazing planner Emmarose from TGA, and together they created a vibe that felt effortless, joyful, and completely "us." Our guests kept telling us how incredible the energy was, and that's 100% thanks to him. The flow of the evening, the transitions, the timing, the way he read the room--it was all spot on. You could feel his experience and passion in every moment. And when it came to the more ambitious parts of our setup, he and his team handled everything with total confidence and professionalism. Nothing felt too big or too complicated for them. If you're looking for a team in Hawaii that brings creativity, vision, and the ability to pull off even the most ambitious production, Spectrum Entertainment is the one. I truly can't recommend them enough. They helped make our wedding unforgettable, and we're so grateful for everything they did to make the day feel magical.

With this and their services problems, I am looking for something better.

Everyone had so much fun dancing to his tunes, which were a perfect mix of soul, reggae, Latin and pop from various decades. He excels at reading a crowd and isn't afraid to bail on songs that turn out less popular. He took both my pre-selected requests (and "do not play" list) and the requests of other guests, even downloading a reggaeton song to his phone during the party. Also, he and his assistant Faye are a breeze to work with. They respond very quickly to emails and they met with us beforehand to make sure everything was good to go. I'd definitely recommend him for your wedding or any other event. Thanks Bennie and Faye!
