About / Biography

My act is very adaptable depending on the occasion, whether it be my dance moves or sax playing, I will find a way to set the mood and get the party started, playing a variety of styles - jazz, blues, funk, pop, rock, Ibiza House, 90's classics, garage and Drum and Bass.

I've been playing my sax for 30 years, I've performed at weddings, corporate events, birthdays, hen parties and many bar/clubs and brunches around London/UK. I drive to most gigs so bringing my own PA is not a problem - I'm happy to play solo or be it with a DJ, band or singer. My recent trips have been to Ibiza, Italy, South of France, Greece, Cyprus and touring the Caribbean.
