One of the most memorable moments of my musical journey happened during the Francofolies festival in La Rochelle (France). While I was in the audience, the artist -M- invited me on stage to play guitar in front of more than 15,000 people.

Since then I’ve continued performing regularly at weddings, private events, hotels and corporate functions, bringing live saxophone performances that create a vibrant and elegant atmosphere.

I particularly enjoy performing at weddings, cocktail parties and elegant private events. Live saxophone works beautifully in these settings and helps create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that guests remember.

I started performing many years ago as a guitarist and singer before focusing more on the saxophone for live events. Over time I developed a style that blends live saxophone with backing tracks to create an energetic and elegant atmosphere.

I have performed at many private events, weddings, hotels and corporate functions in France. My goal is always the same: bring positive energy, connect with the audience and make the event truly memorable.

I’ve been influenced by artists such as Charlie Parker, Maceo Parker, Prince and more recently Jimmy Sax. Their energy, groove and stage presence have shaped the way I approach live performance.

I enjoy music that blends jazz, funk, soul and modern pop elements, creating a vibrant and elegant atmosphere for live events.

I’m very comfortable adapting to different musical situations and improvising when needed.

For example, I once stepped in at the last minute to replace a saxophinst for a corporate event at Bastion / Île de Ré with musicians coming from Annecy. There was no time for rehearsal, but thanks to my experience and improvisation skills, the performance went smoothly and the event was a great success.

Being able to adapt quickly is an important part of my approach to live performance.

I usually arrive 1.5 to 2 hours before the performance to set up and ensure everything runs smoothly.

Setup typically takes around 60 minutes depending on the venue and technical conditions.

Performance times are flexible depending on the event. Typical formats include:
• 1 × 60 minutes
• 2 × 45 minutes
• 2 × 60 minutes

I can also adapt the performance length for cocktail hours, weddings and private events.

Yes, I’m happy to perform outdoors.

As musical equipment is sensitive to weather conditions, I simply ask for a sheltered and secure performance area in case of rain or strong sun, as well as a stable surface and access to power.

Yes, clients are welcome to share their musical preferences.

I can adapt the repertoire and atmosphere depending on the event (cocktail, wedding, private party or corporate event).

My goal is always to create the right musical mood for the moment while keeping the performance natural and engaging.

Clients often describe my performances as elegant, energetic and engaging.

The live saxophone creates a unique atmosphere that elevates the event and leaves guests with memorable moments.
