Amazing Saxophonist Rehearsal Dinner

Brandon, I was able play on a short notice for my wife’s and my rehearsal dinner party. He was very professional, on time, accommodating, and a very talented saxophone player. He was able to bring other equipment too and play the saxophone over well-known songs. He brought great energy, great vibes, and helped make our rehearsal dinner party one to remember. The music he played made the environment so much more fun and brought our family and friends closer together during a special night. He is a very talented saxophone player in a highly recommend!

Perfect!

Brandon was perfect for our event. He played solo throughout the evening. As he was played he moved throughout different areas of the venue. First floor to the second floor then onto an outside balcony. His music was perfect for the ambiance of Cafe Sbisa's. The guests absolutely loved him. He is an excellent musician and wonderful person to deal with. Very professional. I would hire him again!!!.

Perfect Trio to Call for Events

I am a caterer and event planner based in Los Angeles. I was commissioned to coordinate a mixer for a client in New Orleans and worked with Brandon after selecting him and his trio for our musical selection. Coordinating an event remotely can sometimes prove to be difficult but Brandon was a consummate professional - very responsive and informative during communication & upon arrival, prompt and friendly to all. The musical selections were amazing and the guests of the event were extremely pleased with the performance. This trio will definitely be my go to again and they are sure to be a crowd pleaser whenever they are booked -which should be often!!

About

Born and raised in New Orleans,LA, I've absorbed many things from our culture such as visual arts,music,dances,cuisines,and folktales. Coming from a somewhat musical family, I finally picked up the alto saxphone when I was 10 years old in a middle school band and fell in love with it. The moment that solidified my calling into becoming a professional musician however,was when I started learning Jazz in high school through the New Orleans Center of Creative Arts. My musical education led me very far into attending and obtaining a Bachelors Degree in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music to learned the art of composition and production with learning in the field itself from artists such as Delfeayo Marsalis and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra later on.
I'm currently residing in New Orleans as an active performer playing with various groups with genres spanning from Jazz,R&B,Pop,Soul, Funk, and Brass Band. I lead a variety of performances in settings of having a trio, quartet, duo, and even solo acts for many events as well. After all, I'm always looking for ways to grow as a musician.
