September 29, 2025Phenomenal!
Charlie was phenomenal! We hired him as a saxophonist and DJ for my 50th birthday celebration on 9/13/25, and he absolutely blew us away. His live sax set was stunning, and as a DJ, he kept the energy high and the dance floor full all night. Super professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented. Highly recommend!

Charlie was fantastic! Everyone commented on what a great vibe he added to the event. He was able to play seamlessly with the DJ on site. I requested one song that he was happy to learn with one days notice. Will definitely use again

June 4, 2024A very gifted Saxophonist and a great guy.
My wife and I celebrated a beautiful 25th wedding anniversary together with family and friends (at an outdoor dinner party). Charlie’s music was perfect for the occasion because it set a relaxed atmosphere which all enjoyed… great setlist too! The music was polished and professional. We’ll definitely have him join us for future events.
