Verified profile

Julien Alenda was born in Normandy, France in 1985. He took clarinet and saxophone at 8 and quickly started to play jazz in local clubs. After graduating from the conservatoire in Toulouse in 2008, he spent one year in San Diego, US where he had the great opportunity to study with alto sax master Charles McPherson. In 2009, he played and recorded original songs in Brazil with local musicians. His travel experience continued the following year, aboard a cruise ship where he played in the jazz band, before moving to Bristol in 2012. His playing is influenced by his love for Cannonball Adderley, Kenny Garrett and Dexter Gordon among others.

Julien's Reviews

5 out of 5

Julien was absolutely brilliant at our wedding in June this year. He went above and beyond and even stayed later than booked when our wedding breakfast over ran and he provided the guests with wonderful sound during cocktail hour. Thoroughly enjoyed by all and we couldn’t have been happier!
