Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
My clients love the strength specifically in pop music when i play. Songs like Perfect by Ed Sheeran and Halleluiah by Leonard Cohen get the crowd going. I've started to venture out into other genres that require dancing and that never fails to leave a good impression.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I've performed in multiple venues like clubs and pubs in Oxfordshire and recently have been performing at the Bridge in Oxford with around a few thousand people and its the most interesting on haloween for sure.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I've been inspired by a wide range of artists interestingly in many different Genres.
Lionel Richie, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande and Celine Dion are what made me pick up a Sax.
Andrea Bocelli, Whitney Houston, Madonna and the Weekend is what i played when i was learning.
Bon Jovi, Lewis Capaldi, Tyla and Sade are what keep me going today!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
The Most High-profile gig would be the bridge in Oxford on Halloween. I had to perform in a circle which I could only describe as a ring of fire because the flashes from all the iPhones were intense. I had to take my disguise off immediately after the performance was done because I could barely move and had a girl jump on me even, it was intense.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
You can always renegotiate the timings and reschedule if necessary. I understand the stress and pressure of organising events and making them go according to plan so I'm empathetic towards situations like that.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, but it is limited to Apple Music. I'm perfectly okay with it as long as it is negotiated into the set time.
How much time do you need to set up?
Around 5 mins. I'll arrive 10-20 minutes before I'm required to play and I'll be able to set up the sound and the saxophone as long as there is electricity.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes, you can pick from the list in my description and request that you contact me at least 2 weeks in advance. If you have a request about a specific piece and it's not on the list, please do enquire because I learn new songs every other day.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I’ll bring a saxophone and speaker if needed.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes but I’ll need to be informed at least 2 weeks in advance
