Verified profile

I took an early interest in music and began playing the saxophone at the age of 10 and continued with the instrument in my teens, while I was doing some courses and workshops for young musicians (Classical and Jazz). I began playing professionally at the age of 18 performing with several top artists and bands. For several years, my career has been playing in different kind of events or dinners background music, smooth jazz, pop ballads, or parties, clubs and pubs upbeat music, like dance, Ibiza club, house, pop, soul, funk and others.

5 out of 5

Jorge was fantastic and all our guests loved him. The communication and punctuality was brilliant especially as he came such a long way. We really appreciate everything he did.

The whole experience was quite amateur unfortunately. We asked for Ibiza style beats to start with and he really struggled with these- lots of reverb from the mic and squeaks and he played 2 notes in 10. The second half we asked for upbeat modern pop and he played more old fashion hits mixed with easy listening. Not the vibe qe were looking for at our celebteation and it changed the atmosphere entireley. Though at least these pieces he could play better. He was a lovely chap though and very respectful, just not the quality of music that we were hoping for.

Poor appearance, mic did not work and did not play to our music requirements. Turned up in scruffy trainers and t-shirt, not following our dress code. Very disappointed!
