Hull

Public liability insurance of £1 million

Having studied the playing style of Lovely Laura, Dustin aims to bring that melodic sound of Ibiza into your party. With high energy sets of House Anthems, Disco remixes and screaming sax solos, Dustin will have your guests up and dancing all night long! Dustin is a very experienced performer having played at festivals right across the UK early on in his career; Burton Agnes Jazz Festival (Rev Ray Trio 2016, 2017), Coastival (Peter Elsdon’s Jazz Aesthetic 2017), London Remixed Festival (Tshok, 2019) and World On Our Doorstep (Tshok, 2019). Since COVID, Ibiza Sax has become his main focus point taking him to some of the most gorgeous wedding venues in East Riding of Yorkshire (2020-now), as well as performing at Hull Pride (July 2022 & 2023), Beverley Pride (August, 2023) and even drag shows, in drag (June 2020)! In addition to this, he has performed internationally including Nikki Beach Resort (Dubai, 2020) Kinky Bar (Mexico City, 2023) and Mabuhay Music Keller in Frankfurt (if you can class Karaoke as an international performance!). He even runs his own UV Big Band Rave experience, the Kitsch Co. Big Band which fuses the musical styles of Drum and Bass, House, Soca, Techno, Trance, Big Band Horn and colourful UV set design to fully immerse the audience in a truly unique rave experience. All these experiences adds up to a polished performance that oozes with fun, with each performance different from the last! Dustin will provide a wireless mic, set list options, and a powerful QTX Busker PA15 speaker (if a DJ isn't present) with each performance for no extra charge.

You have to book Dustin, he was incredible!! Communication was amazing from when he provided a quote to finishing his set on the day of our wedding. He made our day so special and brought our vision to life. He even threw in an on the spot song of Local Hero which is a song very close to my family's heart and a moment that will last a life time in my memory. Thank you for being amazing 😍
