Alto Saxophonist

London

Public liability insurance of £5 million

I am a professional London-based stage performer and a studio musician playing Alto and Tenor Saxophones. From soft emotional soul through pop, and rock to upbeat 80's tunes, I am proficient in eclectic musical styles but my full passion is the stage; nothing feels as satisfying as making the dancefloor jump. I am comfortable within a band or accompanied by a DJ, but also deliver a special experience as a frontman with my Saxophone solo act. Rich with extensive experience in improvisation, composition, touring, and studio sessions, I guarantee to upgrade your venue or song with unique, soulful sounds that will make you stand out. Get in touch!

Great - Yali is a great guy to work with

5 out of 5

Yali was absolutely amazing! We challenged Yali to bring the party to the bus taking us from the chapel to the reception and he delivered beyond expectations! To play the sax so effortlessly on a moving double decker bus is a real skill! He was so easy to work with in the build up and really showed up on the day! We hope we get to work with him again! Thank you so much Yali! (10 / 10)

We recently hosted our annual company Christmas party, and it was truly a night to remember! One of the standout highlights of the evening was the incredible performance by Yalisaxx, our live saxophone player for the event. From the very first note, Yalisaxx brought an amazing energy to the room — effortlessly blending smooth, soulful melodies with upbeat, crowd-pleasing tunes that got everyone on their feet. His ability to read the room and interact with the guests made the night feel truly special and added a touch of class and excitement to the celebration. We’ve had a lot of positive feedback from staff, with many commenting on how unique and memorable the live sax set was. Yalisaxx was professional, punctual, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you’re looking to elevate your event with something both stylish and entertaining, I can’t recommend Yalisaxx highly enough.

Of course, I can play anything because I mainly do improve but if you want me to play the melodies, I could learn it by heart before the show. I’ll do it for without an extra fee, unless it’s more then 3 and then we could work something out, shouldn’t be a problem though…
