Owner & Director of Rush Entertainment Group
"Its was such an honor to have Cali play for our VIP client and special guests at the stunning Intercontinental Resort on Hayman Island for 6 days. Everyday they provided a unique musical experience to compliment the different events planned from Acoustic Chill and DJ/Sax vibes right through to Beach Party Vibes playing the latest songs. The final night was a white party where they had everyone on the dance floor playing classic hits old and new.
Their versatility and talent is absolutely world class and we cannot wait to have them back entertaining our VIP clients and guests at our next major event."

W Hotel Bali
Sax DJ
"Hayden was amazing..!! His skills on the sax are just incredible. He provided the perfect vibe for Sunset mixing house and chill lounge tunes.
We then had a special guest DJ performing in our nightclub and Hayden was asked to play sax. The music was a mixture of EDM, House and Techno and he improvised flawlessly over the DJ.
Very impressive to see live and can't wait for him to come back!!"
Colebrook Wedding
WeddingAcoustic Ceremony & Cali DJ Duo Reception
"Quite simply, they exceeded all our expectations. Cali were a game changer and a key feature of the event.
Alexa’s voice is truly beautiful and surprisingly powerful for a petite lady! Hayden’s skill with guitar (acoustic and electric) and saxophone was also next level. They combined talent with charisma in their engagement with the crowd, and there was no doubt as to why they are so sought after.
What I hadn’t expected was the lengths they would go to, in order for the event to be a success. The amount of preparation they completed in the very short time they had, impressed me greatly. They carefully dissected the requests we had made and ensured all were catered for in their plan. They arrived early and spent a lot of time preparing and checking everything – including some extra time required when someone inadvertently disconnected the power, deleting all the settings that Hayden had spent 30 minutes making! They ensured they were in place at the wedding ceremony site well before any guests arrived and waited patiently in the sun, without comment or complaint. They took time to engage with the guests and were open and engaging throughout. By the end of the night, we were left with the firm conclusion that they were not just great musicians, they were great humans as well."
