Hi All, My name is Ayo Emmanuel, With my 12 years of professional experience in music under my belt, i have established myself as a dynamic and versatile Saxophone and percussion performer, comfortable across genres—Afrobeat, Amapiano, jazz, RnB, Reggae, funk, soul, pop, classical, electronic and beyond. From pulsating club nights to elegant weddings, high‑energy birthday parties to captivating concert stages, I bring passion, precision, and a unique sonic identity to every setting.
I have graced venues around the UK and on international stages, seamlessly adapting my repertoire to each audience—from smooth jazz sets at exclusive London soirées to commanding stage presence at destination weddings and global festivals.
MY BIO
My devotion to music began at age 10, when I first fell under the spell of the saxophone’s voice. From learning scales late into the night to forming my first school band, it was clear that music wasn’t just a hobby—it was a calling. That early spark drove me through youth ensembles, conservatoire training, and into a career built on relentless practice, exploration of all genres, and a deep connection to audiences everywhere.
Music, for me, has always been more than notes—it’s a dialogue. Every performance is personalized: I listen to the room, read the energy, and deliver emotional honesty through tone, phrasing, and improvisation. Whether closing a dance‑floor anthem or stirring tears at a wedding, my ultimate goal is to move people, make them dance and have a memorable day.
