About / Biography

I have been playing sax for more years than I can remember. I still love the instrument as much as I did when I first started. I got into the wedding party game when a friend of mine asked to play for her daughter's wedding some years ago. I put together a few backing tracks and I have never looked back. I am reliable, personable, punctual and friendly. Oh, and I can play a bit too.
