About / Biography

Taylor Sax has an addiction to jazz, funk and soul. Doubling sax with flute, and clarinet has led her to play such main stages as Wembley Stadium (London), The NIA (Birmingham), Newton's Nation (Australia), Alliance Francaise (Zambia) and many more. Her performances have been acclaimed by the likes of The British Arts Council and The BBC.

Throughout her career, Taylor has been fortunate to collect passport stamps from all over the world; from Bruges to Botswana, Turkey to Thailand, Dubrovnik to Dubai and countless other destinations.

Taylor has been lucky to support some fantastic artists such as Jools Holland, Nile Rogers, Jaz Dhami, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Thunder, Tony Hadley, Shane Richie and Gareth Gates, as well as leading record labels such as Hed Kandi and Sony Music.

Off stage, she has premiered works by Michael Nymann on BBC Radio 3 and jammed alongside Seasick Steve on Radio 2.


Behind the scenes, Taylor is a devoted sax tutor as well as working with the reputable charity, Music in Hospitals, playing for patients all over the UK and featuring her performance experiences on BBC Radio 4. She can also be found beneath the stage, playing in the pit for various popular musicals in central London.

On her home turf in London, Taylor has managed to acquire quite a few letters after her name, including dipABRSM Teaching alongside a Licentiate in Performance from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. Proving to be somewhat of a qualification junkie, she is now preparing to sit her Fellowship Diploma in Musical Performance.

Taylor writes and arranges music for her many bands & ensembles. In the composition world, Taylor has written for online games companies, news corporations and the Edinburgh Film Festival, to name a few, as well as releasing material with her bands on iTunes.
