Horns/String&Horn Arranging

Sylvester is a highly gifted musician and producer. I sent him a reference track with horns that needed to be re-played and within 24 hours he sent me back a full horn/wind section that was not only perfectly played, but also - really well mixed and produced. The ability to perform the parts, improvise new parts would have been plenty. But Sylvester was also able to produce his own parts so that they would fit right in with the other elements of the song. This made life so much easier. I highly recommend!

I knew Sylvester Onyejiaka's work very well but I was impressed first of all by his availability, regarding his professionalism everything I expected was confirmed, if you are looking for a multifaceted musician/producer who will provide you with quality and creativity don't hesitate.

Having known Sylvester for many years, I can enthusiastically recommend him as a world-class saxophonist, woodwind doubler, composer, arranger, producer, and overall musical mind. Aside from being a gifted and accomplished musician, he's a genuinely good human being, as well, which is priceless. Hire him without hesitation.

Sly is top class. Respected, well rounded, and one of the most humble. It is a pleasure and an honor to work on tunes with him. NYC hardened and well traveled, interesting and dynamic musical decision making, and a great dude !

Sly is an incredible person and genius musician. I had the honour to work with him in my new production. Sly really adds a lot of flavour and musicality to the songs. His knowledge, feel and open mindset makes him one of my favorite musicians / producers at the moment.

Sly is an incredible talent, with extreme proficiency in arrangement and production. While known as a world class musician on the horns, he shows equivalent prowess with woodwinds.

I have worked with Sly on a variety of projects. Custom cues for sync licensing, co-producing instrumentals for hip hop and funk legends, and arranging lush horn and woodwind sections. Every project that I bring to his table, he finds a solution for.

What I love about working Sylvester is that only his genius as a musician apparent, and his production dynamic, but he also has a great feel for crafting music that just has an infectious raw energy. It’s a pleasure working with him because he always has ideas to bounce off of my own that take the music to the next level with each draft. It’s a fun process with him and I can trust that if I bring it on my end, something special is going to result from it.

A genius composer , arranger, and musician! An innovator in the tradition of American music and recorded music in general. He is a pleasure to collaborate with due to his open minded approach to writing music and the production process as well as his melodic mastery and understanding or harmony.

Sylvester is an incredible musician and producer. I've worked with him on several projects over the years and every time, his musicianship blows me away. His arrangements are amazing and everything he brings to the sax, clarinet, and flute is just gorgeous. Super professional and musically on point. Definitely recommend!
