My technical requirements are quite simple and flexible! I bring my own saxophone, mic, and sound system for smaller events. For larger venues or outdoor events, I may require a quality PA system, preferably with a monitor speaker, so I can hear myself clearly while performing. If there's already an existing sound setup at your venue, we can discuss compatibility and ensure everything runs smoothly. I always aim to keep things hassle-free and ensure that the sound quality enhances the atmosphere of your event!
To ensure a smooth performance, I’ll need a few key details about the venue:
1.Location and Size – Knowing the venue’s size helps me plan for the sound system and acoustics.
2.Indoor or Outdoor – This will help me prepare for weather conditions if it's an outdoor event and determine if additional equipment like covers is needed.
3.Available Power Supply – I’ll need access to power for my sound system, so knowing where the outlets are is essential.
4.Stage or Performance Area – It’s helpful to know if there’s a designated performance space or if I’ll need to set up in a more flexible area.
5. Set-up Time – It’s great to know when I’ll have access to the venue to set up and soundcheck before the event starts.
Yes, I provide sound equipment for smaller events, including a saxophone mic and a portable speaker system to ensure clear, high-quality sound. For larger events, I can bring a more robust setup, or if the venue has an existing system, I can work with that as well.
As for lighting, I don’t typically provide full lighting setups, but I can assist in coordinating with the venue’s lighting team to ensure the ambiance matches the music perfectly. If you'd like more advanced lighting for a specific effect, we can discuss options to enhance the overall atmosphere!
Yes, absolutely! I can curate a custom playlist via Spotify to set the perfect mood before and between my sets. Whether you want relaxed background music or a more upbeat vibe, I can tailor it to suit your event’s atmosphere. If you prefer a DJ-style setup, I can collaborate with a DJ or handle the music transitions myself, ensuring the energy flows seamlessly throughout your event
It’s hard to choose just one, but one of the most unforgettable gigs was performing at a breathtaking Santorini cliffside wedding during sunset. The combination of the stunning view, the golden light reflecting on the sea, and the emotion of the moment made it truly magical. As for the best venue, I’ve been lucky to play at some incredible locations, but luxury beach resorts and exclusive rooftop venues with panoramic views always stand out—they create the perfect setting for live saxophone music.
I love performing at weddings and luxury private events, especially those set in breathtaking locations like Santorini. There’s something truly special about being part of such emotional and unforgettable moments—whether it’s a romantic ceremony, a sunset cocktail hour, or an elegant reception. The energy, the love, and the atmosphere make every performance unique and magical!
I’ve been playing the saxophone professionally for many years, and my journey started in jazz clubs and local venues, where I honed my skills and gained experience performing live. Over time, I expanded into private events, weddings, and corporate functions, where I fell in love with creating personalized, unforgettable experiences for my clients. I’ve had the privilege of performing in some stunning locations, including resorts and destination weddings, which has allowed me to grow as an artist and connect with amazing people from all over the world. Every performance is a new opportunity to bring something unique to the table, and I’m so grateful for the incredible experiences I’ve had!
I’ve been deeply influenced by legends like John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and Stan Getz—their mastery of the saxophone and their emotional depth in music have shaped my own style. As for my favorite artist, it’s tough to pick just one, but I’ve always had a special connection with George Benson—his smooth, soulful sound and incredible technique resonate with me on every level. As for the greatest song of all time, I’d say “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. It’s timeless, full of heart, and perfectly captures the beauty of life through music

Absolutely! There’s nothing better than playing music in the open air, especially in a magical place like Santorini. Imagine the warm summer breeze, a stunning sunset, and the sound of the saxophone creating the perfect atmosphere for your special event. Performing outdoors in such a breathtaking setting is always a dream come true
Absolutely! I love working with my clients to create the perfect playlist for their event. While I have a versatile repertoire, I’m always happy to include special song requests to make your occasion truly personal and unforgettable!
My clients often describe my performances as captivating, soulful, and unforgettable. They love the elegant and romantic atmosphere the saxophone creates, whether it’s during a dreamy wedding ceremony, a sunset cocktail hour, or a lively party. Many have said that my music adds a magical touch to their event, making it even more special and memorable
Of course! We can discuss the playlist, and I can include songs that are special to you.
I can perform solo with backing tracks or collaborate with DJs and live bands, depending on your event's needs.
I have my own professional sound system, but if there is existing equipment at the venue, we can discuss the setup.
I typically perform in 30-45 minute sets with short breaks, but the schedule can be adjusted to fit your event.
