I perform a wide variety of music, including (but not limited to) jazz standards, smooth jazz, pop, R&B, Motown, rock, dance, house, and current hits.

You can also check out my Repertoire page for examples of songs and styles I regularly perform.

Absolutely! I’m happy to incorporate specific songs, artists, or genres into your event. For weddings, this can include special requests for the processional, recessional, grand entrance, first dance, parent dances, or other important moments.
If you have a song in mind that isn’t currently part of my repertoire, I’m always happy to discuss learning it for your event.

For standalone saxophone performances, I typically perform with professional backing tracks.
I can also perform alongside your DJ or other live musicians and am happy to coordinate with them ahead of your event.
-
Absolutely! I regularly perform alongside DJs, and can coordinate with your DJ ahead of time to make sure everything runs smoothly. This can include anything from live saxophone during cocktail hour to performing alongside the DJ during your reception and joining your guests on the dance floor.
If you already have a DJ booked, I’m happy to connect with them directly before your event to discuss music and any necessary setup or logistics.
-
Yes! I offer DJ + Saxophone services for weddings and private events, allowing you to have both services as part of one entertainment package.
When I’m handling both, I’ll DJ and mix the music from the booth and incorporate live saxophone sets throughout the event. When it’s time for sax, I step away from the booth and perform wirelessly on the dance floor before returning to continue DJing.
Depending on the event, I may also work with an assistant who can manage the music while I’m performing on saxophone, allowing me to spend time interacting with guests and performing on the dance floor.
I’d be happy to work with you to put together a DJ + Saxophone experience that fits what you’re envisioning and that you and your guests will love.
-
Performance times vary depending on the type of event, services booked, and your specific needs. My maximum continuous saxophone set is one hour, with breaks between sets for longer bookings. I’m happy to work with you to create a timeline that suits your event.
-
Yes! I can provide the professional sound equipment needed for your event, whether you’re booking live saxophone or DJ + Saxophone services. Depending on your needs, this can include sound systems, wireless microphones, DJ equipment, and professional backing tracks.
If your venue, DJ, or AV team already has sound in place, I’m happy to coordinate with them as well.

Yes. I’m based on Long Island and regularly perform on Long Island, in New York City, and the surrounding areas. I’m also available for events farther away, with travel fees depending on the location.
