I’m a professional saxophonist based in Birmingham, performing across weddings, private parties, corporate events, pubs and restaurants. With a repertoire spanning jazz, soul, pop, funk, dance and Ibiza classics, I tailor every performance to suit the occasion, from relaxed background music during drinks receptions and dinners to high-energy sets that keep the dance floor moving. Whether performing with professional backing tracks or alongside your DJ, I bring energy and versatility to every event. I can improvise live over your favourite tracks to create an exciting party atmosphere, and I can also provide a professional PA system where required. I hold a Master’s degree in Jazz from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and have performed at venues and festivals such as: Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Victorious Festival and Birmingham’s Symphony Hall. Whatever the occasion, I provide a professional, reliable service and a performance that helps make your event truly memorable.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

If your timings change after you’ve booked me, don’t worry just let me know as soon as possible. I will always try my best to be flexible with bookings

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I provide this for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

Usually around 45 mins max

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

I really encourage that! I want your event to be tailored to you, so definitely let me know what songs you’d like to pick. However, if you have no preference, that’s completely fine as well and I will curate a setlist perfect for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring everything I need to make sure the event is catered to. However for larger venues, more than 120 people, the venue will need to provide a larger PA system

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, of course! If there’s a song you’d like me to learn for the event please let me know in advance. I will learn it free of charge.
