Currently studying jazz at the prestigious Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London, I have been playing the saxophone for over 12 years, honing my craft through a deep appreciation for both jazz tradition and modern pop. I am passionate about performing iconic jazz ballads and standards, while my love for pop and soul—especially artists like Stevie Wonder—brings a fresh and dynamic energy to my music.
Having performed in well-known venues such as Upstairs at Ronnie Scott’s, Lafayette in Kings Cross, the Oslo in Hackney, and Notting Hill Arts Club, I bring a wealth of live performance experience to each event. My wireless setup and portable PA system allow me to deliver seamless, professional performances using high-quality backing tracks, perfect for creating an elegant, vibrant atmosphere for any occasion.
What sets me apart is my focus on improvisation. With every performance, I ensure that no two shows are ever the same, bringing a unique and personal touch to each event. My goal as a musician is to elevate the experience of live music, enhancing special moments with unforgettable sound.
If you're looking for a saxophonist who can adapt from jazz standards to soulful pop, and guarantee a sophisticated yet engaging musical experience, I’m the ideal choice for your next event

Very happy to play any tunes that aren't listed here if told in advance.
I play Alto Saxophone. I can provide a portable PA system that can be battery powered depending on the space and volume required. Alternatively, I can easily be pared with house system via aux/Bluetooth.
Yes, I can be a completely self contained event. I bring my own mic setup and portable PA system, or can happily perform with an in house system.
I need to know directions and logistics of the area.
Before, during and after I am able to keep the atmosphere at an enjoyable level by playing my custom made playlists for the setting.
The best gig I have done was when I played Upstairs at Ronnie Scotts as the atmosphere was amazing and the venue was fantastic.
Braxton Cook has been the greatest influence on my saxophone playing as he manages to put his own sound and style on top of all the jazz tradition, which is something I aspire to do myself.
This is a new project of mine that has only just started as I want to start to playing more intimate settings and really focus on making the music enhance events rather than it be the main feature.
I love playing at all events but my favourites are definitely hotel settings and restaurants.
What sets me apart is my ability to bring each performance to life with improvisation, ensuring that no two shows are ever the same. Whether I’m performing jazz standards like Body and Soul or Autumn Leaves, or giving a fresh twist to pop classics, my focus is on creating an unforgettable atmosphere that enhances the experience of any event.
I aim to arrive around an hour prior to setup and do a brief sound check. I usually perform 2 x 45 minute sets. I'm happy to play a bit longer or shorter but i've found the 2 x 45 minute sets work best.
Yes although it would be weather dependant.
Yes absolutely, if there is a preferred set list from the client Im more than happy to work around that. Equally i'm happy to use my judgement to pick tunes I think would work.
