You want a saxophone for your live gig? Need a solo for your next banger? I got you covered. I am David, a saxophonist with many years of experience playing live and in the studio, looking fashionable while doing so. Through the years I have played esteemd venues like the Brighton Dome and Ronnie Scotts jazz club as well as hundreds of gigs around the UK opening for acts such as Black Honey and Bel Cobain. I have also been working with producers like Pete Smith (Stevie Wonder, Sting) and Mark Dodson (Joan jett, Judas priest). I am fluent in almost every genre, can read sheet music and I am very keen on improvising.

Spotify yes, DJ no
I performed at Stockholm City Hall for the UN assembly including several world leaders and royalties. It was amazing seeing the swedish queen get up and dance to "Dancing Queen" by ABBA
I love all sort of venues but concerts or live sessions are my favorite.
I started gigging when I was about 16 years old, I formed different bands and joined sever bands. Since i moved here I have freelanced regularly .
Bruce Springsteen: he is the best songwriter and performer ever. And his saxplayer Clarence was the coolest. Best song is Jungleland because it has the best sax solo EVER!
It takes me about 10 mins to set up then usually play for 1-3 h, maybe break in between but fine if not.
