Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Every gig is a little universe of its own, and each new stage brings its own magic — a fresh chance to create something unforgettable.
I’ve had the privilege of performing at high-profile private events with some of Russia’s top stars in Moscow, honing my craft as a saxophonist over more than six years since 2016. Internationally, I’ve played in Rome, Paris, and Brussels over the last three years — both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other talented musicians — each show a unique experience in its own right.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love performing for audiences and organizers who are truly present — when people are vibing, relaxed, and enjoying the moment, I give everything I have, even if tastes differ.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started gigging commercially at 16 y. o. before 2010. Restaurants, weddings. Then later, after my first Jazz academy graduation in 2018 I started to play with a highest level artist in my country.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Michael Jackson is the top. The rest is all about a taste. But I play any genre and I have my favourites from each of them, such a long list. For me as the saxophonist, I pursue the style of Dave Koz and Kenny G. I find their sound as a smoothest, perfect for wide range of events.


What is your availability?

I am available for private events in France and neighboring countries. For festivals and collaborations, I am open to bookings worldwide.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

My shows work best in longer sets that build a seamless mood, but I can always adjust the timing to match your requirements.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Outdoor events are welcome too! With battery-powered amplification available, I can perform almost anywhere your celebration takes place.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can prepare a few of your favourite songs for the event. You’re welcome to select from our repertoire or simply let us create the right vibe for you.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients often say I’m a professional saxophonist who brings music straight to the soul, gets everyone on their feet, and creates unforgettable memories.


What type of events do you perform at?

I perform at private events, weddings, corporate functions, and special engagements. My shows are tailored to each audience for a unique and unforgettable experience.


What is your performance fee?

My rates depend on the type and duration of the event. A detailed quote will be provided after discussing your event requirements.


What repertoire do you perform?

I perform a mix of jazz, pop, and contemporary hits, as well as custom requests to suit the mood of your event.
