This isn't true. I arrived on time, and was there for the time specified (45 minutes) via contract even though the event was running at least 2 hours behind schedule. I received no prior phone call to inform me the event was running behind schedule.

What to expect

If you are looking for a musician who can bridge the gap between the Golden Era of Soul and today’s R&B charts, you have found your match.
​I am Vinnis Bryant, a professional saxophonist specializing in creating the perfect atmosphere for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations. My style is rooted in the deep emotion of Gospel and Soul, but with a modern, sophisticated edge.
​I don't just play background music; I curate a vibe. Whether you need the high-energy joy of a "Cookout Classic" to get the dance floor moving or the deep, amber-lit romance of a ballad for a first dance, I read the room and deliver exactly what the moment needs.
​What You Can Expect
​Versatility: My repertoire spans decades—from Stevie Wonder, Frankie Beverly, and Patti LaBelle to modern heavyweights like SZA, Chris Brown, Kehlani, and Maxwell.
​Professionalism: Punctual, polished, and easy to work with. I coordinate with your DJ or event planner to ensure the sound is seamless.
​The "Wow" Factor: I bring a unique "Winter Soul" aesthetic—warm, emotive, and technically impressive—that turns passive listeners into engaged fans.
​Perfect For
​Weddings: Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, and First Dances.
​Corporate Events: Adding a touch of class without being stuffy.
​Private Parties: Birthdays, Anniversaries, and "Grown & Sexy" events.
​Sample Repertoire
​The Classics: "Before I Let Go" (Maze), "Ribbon in the Sky" (Stevie Wonder), "If Only You Knew" (Patti LaBelle).
​The Modern: "Ascension" (Maxwell), "Residuals" (Chris Brown), "The Weekend" (SZA), "Made For Me" (Muni Long).

About

St. Louis, a city renowned for its rich music history, has been home to many notable musicians, and Vinnis Bryant is no exception. His love for music was sparked at a young age, influenced by some of the greatest saxophonists of all time, such as Grover Washington Jr., Kirk Whalum, and Kenny G. Vinnis has been honing his skills since the 6th grade, and his passion for music has only grown stronger with time.

When asked to describe his style of music, Vinnis has said, "If I were to describe myself, it would be a great fusion of Timbaland, Babyface, and Kenny G." A multi-talented musician, Vinnis can play up to 6 different instruments and produces, writes, and engineers his music himself. His unique brand of music has b een described as "Jazz N' B," a blend of his favorite elements of Jazz, RnB, and Hip Hop that creates a timeless genre of music that appeals to everyone.

Vinnis' first EP, The Vinnis Bryant Experience, was independently released in November 2015. His music has continued to gain recognition, and his performances have left audiences captivated and craving more. As he continues to work on new projects, Vinnis Bryant is undoubtedly a rising star in the world of music, adding to St. Louis' rich musical history with his unique and unforgettable sound.
