About Joshua

Saxophone is the portal to happiness in the same way that the eyes are the portal to the soul (trust me).

Tenor Saxophonist

Huddersfield

19 year old Alto/Tenor Saxophonist based in West Yorkshire, studying BMus Music Performance. Lover of jazz, pop-rock, latin and funk. I became a musician after discovering my father's old alto saxophone in our attic and fell in love; since then, I have dedicated many years to learning and mastering the saxophone. Whilst I started my journey as a pianist, the soloist nature and explosive appearance of a saxophonist is more to my taste. I am lead saxophone in my University's Big Band, as well as being Lead Woodwind in my Wind Orchestra. Alongside this, I conduct our Saxophone Choir and play Tenor for many saxophone quartets.
