Phenomenal!

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!

Saxophonist

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

A 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.

About

Born on January 18, 1981. Born & raised in Los Angeles California. Charlie began his musical journey at a very young age. Picked up the sax and the rest was history. Dynamic and soul are his main focus on the sax. Influenced by the best in the industry, Charlie Duran is becoming a known name in the music industry. His sound and tone is instantly becoming prevalent and known as a very distinctive voice on his sax. With 3 musical projects out on iTunes Charlie has captured the attention from musicians alike and music lovers of the genre.

Additional booking notes

If you choose to book me for your event I will take my own sound system which is already included in my fee. If you choose my luxury wedding package you will get sound system, lighting, DJ booth, Emcee (myself), Saxophonist and DJ all in one! Why book a separate DJ when I can cover it all for you and save you money! My modo has always been, "go the extra mile, it's never crowded" :)
