A Collaborator’s Guitarist: Why Artists Trust Hurlarstringz on Big Stages

Emmanuel Loye

Watching Hurlarstringz perform alongside artists like Gabriel Eziashi, Mike Aremu, Beejay Sax, Testimony Jaga, and Esther Igbekele, one thing becomes immediately clear—this is a guitarist musicians trust.

At the Christmas & Cultural Gala in Plymouth, his transitions between worship, jazz-influenced interludes, and Afro-soul arrangements were seamless. He adapts instinctively to vocal phrasing, never overpowering the song, yet always leaving a memorable sonic imprint.

Critically, Hurlarstringz excels in live settings because of his responsiveness. He listens. His improvisations respond to the room, the crowd, and the moment. This sensitivity likely stems from his church background, where music functions as dialogue rather than display.

In an industry where many guitarists play at the audience, Hurlarstringz plays with them.
