Overview

Claud's soulful saxophone soars from traditional jazz to smooth contemporary, infusing each performance with a captivating blend of gospel and R&B. As a Grambling alumnus and seasoned music educator, Claud has graced the studio as a featured saxophonist for numerous smooth jazz radio projects. His remarkable versatility has earned him the opportunity to perform and tour alongside iconic artists such as Aaron Neville, The Temptations, Grover Washington Jr., Nancy Wilson, and Aretha Franklin. Claud's musical prowess landed him a feature spot for his newly released single "Thinking of you" as a spotlight feature for the Los Angeles Film/audio School pre ceremony awards 2024.

The Soundtrack to Our Love Story Performed Flawlessly by C

We had the absolute pleasure of having Claud play saxophone at our wedding — during our cocktail hour and even as we exited the altar! His talent is undeniable. Claud knows how to bring every moment to life with music that fits the mood perfectly. From smooth jazz to R&B, pop, and even a few fun throwbacks, his range across genres kept our guests entertained the entire time.

Everyone was talking about how incredible he sounded and how much energy he brought to the celebration. Claud isn’t just a musician; he’s a true performer who knows how to read the crowd and make every note count. If you want your event to feel classy, lively, and unforgettable — book Claud!

Incredible music and service

Claud was incredibly easy to work with, he called a few times before our wedding to verify all the details, everyone loved him and he got the good vibes started for our special day. I would recommend him to anyone!!

Just wow!!- If you don't hire this man, you are crazy

Claud was extra special for my son's rehearsal dinner and wedding cocktail hour and then belted out When a Man Loves a woman for their first dance. It was incredible. He played so long and his set list is very recognizable by all ages. We will hire Claud again just because he was amazing. Over 200 guests at the wedding and everyone was raving about him. Can't wait to see the photos when the photographer gets them back to us. Also, as a special surprise, he chimed in and he recorded a video with a friend of the groom during the rehearsal dinner that will be showing up on Facebook and TikTok. @ Jeremiah Miller featuring Claud for a special song "Marry You" by Bruno Mars... This man is AMAZING!!!

Booking information

Price range: Starting at $500

Languages: English

Gig length: 30 - 180 minutes

What to expect

I personally tailor my performance to fit the needs of the event, from soft background social music to high energy involved performances. I will cater to whatever the musical need requires.
I/we will arrive at a reasonable time with all necessary equipment needed for performance unless otherwise agreed upon with client. For solo sax bookings, I will play along with background tracks to maintain a full ensemble sound and feel. I/we will dress appropriately for the specific type of event. Client and guests are welcome to take pictures and videos of the performance. For performances longer than one hour, I/we will take reasonable breaks (e.g. 2 hr booking = 10-15 min break, 3 hr booking = two 15 min breaks) unless other arrangements have been made with client. The most important thing is that the client is happy!

Additional booking notes

In this health crisis I'm asking if there is a significant amount of distance between me and the listening audience. As a saxophonest I cannot perform with any mouth coverings.

No more than 3 requested songs, unless gig is booked 2 months in advance no more than 6 songs. Thanks
