Sisi The Saxophonist Live solo-saxophonist with style and soul

Technical Requirements:
I provide my own professional saxophone and wireless sound system suitable for events up to 150 guests. For larger venues or outdoor events, I can coordinate with your existing sound system or recommend additional equipment if needed. Setup requires a performance space of approximately 4x4 feet and access to a standard electrical outlet. I arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time for setup and sound check to ensure everything runs smoothly. No special staging or lighting is required, though I'm happy to work with your event's technical team to integrate seamlessly into your setup.

To ensure a seamless performance, please provide the following details about your venue: the performance location address and whether it's indoors or outdoors, estimated guest count, availability of electrical outlets near the performance area, and any specific timing requirements for setup and breakdown. Please let me know if there will be a DJ or other live musicians performing, as I'm happy to coordinate with other entertainment to create a cohesive experience. If the venue has its own sound system that you'd like me to use, please let me know in advance. For outdoor events, please confirm if there's a covered area available in case of weather changes. Additionally, if there are any access restrictions, parking details, or load-in procedures I should be aware of, that information helps me arrive prepared and on time.

Yes, I provide my own professional wireless sound system suitable for most events up to 150 guests. This ensures high-quality audio for both intimate gatherings and medium-sized venues. For larger events or outdoor settings, I can connect to your venue's existing sound system or recommend additional equipment rental if needed. I do not provide lighting equipment, as most venues have adequate ambient or event lighting. However, I'm happy to work with your lighting designer or event coordinator to ensure the performance area is well-lit and complements your overall event aesthetic.

Yes, for an additional charge I can provide curated Spotify playlist music before and between my performance sets to keep the atmosphere flowing seamlessly throughout your event.

Performing at the Madame CJ Walker Black Business Expo was an incredible experience. I traveled through four different locations in one day, providing distinct vibes for each space—from upbeat and energetic to smooth and intimate. The energy of the crowd, the celebration of Black excellence and entrepreneurship, and the historic significance of the venue made it truly memorable. It was an honor to contribute to such a meaningful event, and showcasing my versatility across multiple atmospheres in one day reminded me why I love what I do.

I love all events, but weddings, parties, and curated events hold a special place for me. There's something magical about weddings—the emotion, the romance, the celebration of love. Parties bring out pure joy and energy that's contagious. And curated events allow me to connect with audiences who truly appreciate the artistry and intentionality of live music. Each offers a unique opportunity to create memorable moments through music, and I bring my full passion to every single one.

I started performing in elementary school and never stopped. Music has been woven throughout my entire life—playing in church, gigging in college at live sets and open mics, and continuously honing my craft. Eventually, I made the decision to move to Atlanta to pursue music as a full-time passion. Over the past 20+ years, I've performed across countless venues and settings, and now I'm excited to bring that experience and dedication to weddings, corporate events, private parties, and curated gatherings. Music isn't just what I do—it's who I am.

I've been heavily influenced by the legends—Miles Davis, Vi Redd, and Charlie Parker. Their innovation, soul, and fearless approach to music shaped how I hear and play. Miles Davis is my favorite for his ability to constantly reinvent himself while staying true to the essence of jazz. As for the greatest song of all time, that's tough to narrow down, but anything that moves people emotionally and stands the test of time earns that title in my book.

I typically arrive 30 minutes before the performance start time for setup and sound check. This ensures everything is ready to go and sounds perfect before your event begins. Performance sets are flexible based on your needs—I can perform continuously for shorter bookings (1-2 hours) or break my performance into multiple sets with brief intermissions for longer events (3-4 hours). I'm happy to work with your event timeline and coordinate with other vendors to ensure seamless transitions throughout your program.

Yes, I'm happy to perform outside depending on weather conditions. Saxophones are sensitive to cold temperatures and cannot be exposed to rain, as both can affect tuning, playability, and damage the instrument. Outdoor performances work best in moderate to warm weather with a covered area available in case of rain. For cooler seasons, evenings, or unpredictable weather, I recommend indoor settings or fully covered, climate-controlled outdoor spaces. I'm always willing to discuss your venue setup to find the best solution for your event.

Clients absolutely have a say! I have curated setlists tailored to different event types and vibes, but I'm happy to customize the music to match your preferences and desired sound. If you have specific song requests that aren't currently in my repertoire, I'm willing to learn new pieces for an additional fee. My goal is to create the perfect musical atmosphere for your event, so I encourage open communication about what you envision.

Previous clients describe my performances as engaging, captivating, and professional. They love the energy I bring and often mention that they're not used to seeing women saxophone players—it adds a unique, refreshing element to their event that makes it even more memorable. I bring both skill and presence to every performance, creating moments that resonate with guests long after the event ends.
