Influences and inspiration

David “Sax” Obioma’s sound is deeply rooted in African musical traditions, contemporary gospel, and smooth jazz performance. His musical identity is shaped by a blend of cultural rhythm, live instrumentation, and expressive storytelling through sound.

A major influence is Fela Kuti, whose revolutionary Afrobeat style inspires David’s approach to rhythm, groove, and cultural expression. His work reflects the energy and purpose-driven spirit that Fela brought to music.

In jazz and instrumental performance, David draws inspiration from saxophone legends such as Dave Koz and Kenny G, both known for their melodic tone, emotional expression, and ability to connect with wide audiences through the saxophone.

His gospel influence comes strongly from Kirk Franklin, whose powerful fusion of contemporary sound, worship, and live performance energy has shaped David’s understanding of music as both spiritual and transformative.

These influences come together in David’s work as a DJ and saxophonist, blending African rhythm, jazz expression, and gospel depth into performances that are uplifting, soulful, and engaging for diverse audiences.
