Booking entertainment for events can be a daunting task. There are so many options and it can be difficult to choose between them. My job is to take away that stress! I have a wealth entertainment industry over the past decade, performing at some of the world’s most prestigious events. With a client roster that includes Vogue, The Royal Family, Ascot, Ferrari, and numerous A-list celebrities, I have a wealth of experience in the events space. In 2024, I founded his own brand with the goal of realising his vision of providing unforgettable world-class entertainment tailored to each unique event. My musical journey began at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he graduated in 2017 with a first-class degree in saxophone. Since then, I have traveled the world, collaborating with Grammy Award-winning artists and gracing some of the most iconic stages in the music industry. In addition to live performances, I harnesses my creativity in his studio, where I write and produce original music.

Alex's Reviews

5 out of 5

“Alex came via a recommendation and did not disappoint. From the initial enquiry through to the set delivered on the night, Alex was very professional. The effort he made to ensure that our function went seamlessly and his attention to detail, especially with regard to what we needed was excellent. Fee discussion and pricing was straight forward. Most importantly, the DJ set he delivered on the night was perfect for our requirements and in my opinion, rivalled DJ’s performing at top venues I have been to in recent years in the UK and Europe”
