About / Biography

Schwood Sax will provide the perfect party entertainment getting your guests straight onto the dance floor, playing alongside the DJ to some of the great well-known commercial and house tracks over the last 40 years. If you're after more background music Schwood Sax can also provide a jazz set or chilled-out Ibiza/Cafe Del Mar set setting the perfect vibe for the occasion.

Schwood started his studies on the piano at the age of 3 years old and the sax when he was 13. By the age of 18, he had completed his grade 8 Associated Board Exams for both instruments with high distinction. At the age of 17, he was accepted into the world-renowned Chethams School of Music, where he studied both jazz and classical music, having the opportunity to play with many great jazz musicians such as Johnny Dankworth and Peter King. After his studies at Chethams, Schwood was accepted into the Paul McCartney school, the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts where he mainly focused on studying jazz. Here he was taught by another great saxophonist, Ian Dixon, who has toured with the likes of Micheal Brecker and Sting.

Since leaving his studies, Schwood has been a full-time session musician, playing gigs up and down the UK as well as internationally. As well as playing in some of London's top function bands, Schwood also specialises in playing sax alongside DJ's, bringing a unique experience to partygoers. If you have a DJ, just book Schwood, he will set up his sax into the DJ decks and he's ready to go, playing over some of the absolute house classics of the last few decades.

Whether it's a wedding, birthday party or corporate event, Schwood is vastly experienced in all different types of settings, and can also bring his own PA and playlist if you haven't brought a DJ with you.

Schwood has had the privilege of playing in some of London's top nightclubs including The Arts Club Mayfair, which is visited by many A-class celebs, including David Beckham, Graham Norton and Nicole Scherzinger. He is also Steven Gerrard's resident saxophonist, playing at his functions for the last 5 years, both at his home in Liverpool and in Portugal as well as being a resident sax player at The Piano Works in the West End of London and The Dorchester in Mayfair.
