Overview

The most eventful day of my life was when I renewed my relationship with Jesus Christ. That's when I transformed my music career from a jazz and R&B artist to serving God with my musical talents. Gospel music and serving God are the two driving forces in my life now. As a Gospel Saxophonist and Speaker, I developed a program titled Sax, Scripture, and Song. SSS combines two core competencies of our faith; Biblical scriptures and Gospel songs. If you are you planning a Church event or if you would like a presentation of Scripture and Song presented to your congregation with a powerful message, you will be exceptionally satisfied with my presentation of the Sax, Scripture and Song.

Outstanding talent!

Dr. Brown exceeded our expectations for my graduation event. He communicated with me often leading up to the event, arrived early for setup, and delivered a touching message to my peers and I. Most importantly, Dr. Brown’s musicianship had my guests and I in awe! He played during our dinner, and guests truly got to enjoy their meal with beautiful, classy music. If you are looking to elevate your event, do not hesitate to book Dr. Brown, you will not be disappointed!

What to expect

I understand that it can be difficult to find a professional saxophone player that is willing to work with churches for special events. That’s why I’ve created Sax, Scripture, and Song. SSS is a 60 to 75 minute program presentation that combines two of the core competencies of our faith; Biblical scriptures and Gospel songs, along with a powerful message....a very unique approach to gospel music. My talent of playing the soprano, alto and tenor saxophones has blessed me with the ability to play a wide variety of musical selections. Any of my SSS song selections can be performed with your church choir.
If you are you planning a special Church event, Church anniversary, Pastor Appreciation Day or other special event, or would you like a special presentation of Scripture and Song presented to your congregation for an evening of Gospel music along with scriptures and a powerful message, you will be exceptionally satisfied with my presentation of Sax, Scripture and Song.

About

I am a multi-instrumentalist gospel saxophone player, and I love to create music.
I’ve been playing the saxophone for over 25 years and I am passionate about working with people. Through the years, I have performed on the both East and West coasts of the U.S. and various territories of the Caribbean.
I began my music career as a jazz and R&B artist. Now, my passion is Gospel Music. Gospel music and serving God are two of the driving forces in my life. That’s what truly motivates me every day as I work on making music that inspires others to express themselves through their belief in their faith and their religion.
I believe there is a place for everyone in the church community. If you’re looking for a musician for special events, spiritual meetings, or church functions—or if you need someone to play the saxophone with your church choir, I would love to be a part of your community and assist you in reaching the pre-determined destiny that God has set for your organization.

Additional booking notes

I provide a basic music set-up. I use a Yamaha MG06X mixer and I provide my own speaking microphone. I will need to connect with your XLR system for amplification. I would request that your sound technician be available for set-up and sound checks and a hand truck or cart for transporting my equipment into your facility.
Travel and lodging expenses will be required for events that are more than 75 miles from San Diego California.
