Must Book!

We had the absolute best experience with Kevin. I couldn’t recommend him more. All we heard in the days following our wedding was how amazing he was and how our entertainment was something people would never forget and he blew us away. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Kevin at our reception he was phenomenal to work with and he had the best day ever.

Absolutely zero notes 11/10!

We saw Kevin’s videos and absolutely knew he was the right choice to book for our wedding. He was so wonderful and easy to work with throughout the process. All we’ve heard in the days past our wedding was how phenomenal he was and how that made the party something people (us included) will never forget. I can’t recommend him more!

Great fun!

Kevin played at our backyard birthday party. He was great, from communication before the event, to showing up on time, to the music that he played. What I especially liked was his flexibility in our requests, including playing offbeat songs like Brass Monkey, and accompanying my friend's wife when she sang a couple of songs. Would definitely recommend him.

What to expect

Hiring a live musician is so much more than music. With my wireless mic, I can dance as I play and even bring the show right to the audience! I love to interact with everyone, ham it up, roam the space, giving guests a unique experience as I perform their favorite songs.

The sax is quite versatile, like the human voice. I can play your music style and vibe, whether it’s romantic, Top 40 hits, dance, jazz, oldies, 70s, 80s, Latin, classic rock. My most popular music is my fresh takes on hit songs, by Adele, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Maroon 5, and others. I play the vocal line on my horn (a “saxstrumental” LOL) and jazz it up with some great embellishments. I think people like hearing music they know and can relate to. I work with clients to understand their ideal songs and performance style to make sure I create a unique, memorable experience. Clients often say I was the highlight of their event!

Live saxophone music livens up any party. It adds a flavor of jazz and excitement. The parties I get hired most for are wedding ceremonies, wedding rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, corporate events, birthday parties, fundraisers, dinner parties, cocktail receptions, and galas. I have also played bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, anniversaries, barbecues, and quinceaneras. I’ve also been asked to emcee; I love public speaking and used to do it professionally, so that’s always fun, too! Lastly, some clients ask if I can DJ some of the party, so it’s easier and cheaper than hiring a DJ. I’ve been able to play my clients’ song requests and playlists through my pro sound system.

About

I feel that I have the best job in the world, going to amazing, special events and adding to the joy with my music. I love to work with clients to curate a perfect soundtrack and vibe to give them unforgettable moments with their loved ones.

Clients call me “a born showman” and “dynamic party starter” but I actually started off shy when I learned sax at age 9. After seeing a B.B. King concert with a killer horn section, I decided to go pro.

Besides playing my saxophone, I interact with the crowd, putting on a visual show. People say I have the ideal sound, look, and personality to be a party starter. I think it’s just because I love people, adding to the fun, and giving folks a unique experience. People always tell me that I helped them make life-long memories.

I used to be a professional dancer so my wireless mic lets me play in different spots, move to the music, and play in the crowd if my clients prefer. Of course I also have other intangibles, like friendliness, communication, flexibility, attentiveness, reliability, thoughtfulness, and professionalism, and punctuality.

I’m proud of my customer satisfaction. Out of 300+ reviews across Yelp, Google, WeddingWire and social media, I’ve gotten a perfect score every time. I pride myself on understanding client needs, expectations, and nuances of each unique event that I’m hired for. Please contact me to discuss what magic we can create!
