October 9, 2025I booked Alex to play saxophone for my mother’s 90th birthday, and he truly made the evening unforgettable for my mom. He was professional, fun and everyone loved his performance. My mom is still talking about it! I highly recommended him for your next event!

August 27, 2024I hired Alex to surprise my best friend at her wedding last weekend and despite the last-minute booking I made, Alex was able to flawlessly perform three songs for huge moments during the evening: Lifetime by Justin Bieber, Because you loved me by Celine Dion, and Tremor (EDM).
He came on time and entered through the crowd and needless to say, the bride was shocked and she keeps mentioning how it was her favorite part of the night. It was truly a special moment. Alex was able to blend in with the DJ's tracks and cover up any mistakes the DJ made when transitioning the songs. I would 100% hire him again!!

Growing up, I was surrounded by the sound of my father’s trumpet as he played along with timeless artists like Frank Sinatra, Matt Monro, and Nat King Cole. Their music became the foundation of my passion, inspiring me to develop my own voice as a saxophonist. Today, my influences continue to evolve, drawing from legendary musicians such as Dave Koz, Kenny G, Candy Dulfer, Eric Marienthal, Cannonball Adderley, Grover Washington Jr., Maceo Parker, Spyro Gyra, Chuck Mangione, David Sanborn, Gerald Albright, and many more. Their artistry shapes my sound, allowing me to blend classic elegance with contemporary energy in every performance.
