I need to know about the access/entry to the venue and who will meet me there

I bring my own DJ console and saxophone for performances. However, I do not provide additional sound or lighting equipment (e.g., speakers, microphones, or lighting setups) as part of my standard package. If needed, I can arrange for additional equipment for an extra fee.

One of my most memorable performances was at Atlantis The Palm in Dubai. The energy of the crowd and the stunning venue created an unforgettable experience. It was an honor to bring my unique blend of DJing and live saxophone to such an iconic location!

I enjoy performing at a variety of events, but I particularly love corporate events and high-energy parties. As a DJ and saxophonist, I thrive in settings where I can blend live saxophone with electronic beats, creating a unique atmosphere that gets everyone on the dance floor. Whether it’s a luxury brand launch or an exclusive private party, I love bringing my energy and creativity to make the event unforgettable.

I discovered my passion for music at an early age, which led me to pursue formal education at the Moscow State University of Culture. There, I honed my skills in saxophone and piano, developing a deep understanding of musical composition and performance. As a soloist, I’ve had the privilege of performing alongside renowned big bands and earning accolades, such as the laureate award at the international 'Piano in Jazz' competition.
My journey has taken me to top venues around the world, captivating audiences in the UAE, Italy, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Armenia. Combining my love for DJing and live saxophone, I bring electrifying energy and refined artistry to every performance, creating unforgettable experiences for my audiences.

Daft Punk’s innovative house music inspires my DJ sets, while Miles Davis’s timeless jazz artistry shapes my saxophone performances. My favorite track of all time is Take Five by Dave Brubeck—it’s a masterpiece of rhythm and melody that never fails to captivate audiences. These influences allow me to blend electronic beats with live saxophone, creating a unique and unforgettable experience for every event.

I typically arrive one hour before the performance to set up and prepare. As a saxophonist, I usually perform 3 sets of 20 minutes or 3 sets 30 minutes each, depending on the event’s needs. As a DJ, I play for 3 or 4 hours, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. I’m flexible and happy to adjust the duration to suit the event’s schedule and audience preferences.

I absolutely love performing outdoors, especially on a yacht—it’s a unique and exciting setting! However, I do require a stable power source and a safe, secure setup to ensure the best performance. If these conditions are met, I’m ready to bring incredible energy and music to your outdoor event!

Clients are welcome to request specific songs or genres, and I’m happy to incorporate them into my performance. They can choose from my existing repertoire or trust me to curate a setlist that matches the vibe of their event. My goal is to create a personalized and unforgettable experience!

My previous clients often describe my performances as electrifying and unforgettable. They highlight my ability to blend live saxophone with dynamic DJ sets, creating a unique energy that gets everyone on the dance floor.
