"Robert was awesome on every level. I really appreciated his solid drumming skills and the sounds. Normally I’m annoyed by drummers - Simply because they’re too loud. But Robert was better than that! And the percussion foundation he played for both rehearsals and the show was off the charts!
Robert was professional, timely, hard working and clear in his communication.
Most of my songs were pop. 1 tune was more alternative rock. He toggled between the styles easily, kept a steady beat, established good tempos & always with a supportive attitude.
I would highly recommend him for any band or musician in need of a drummer."

Eternal Triangle
"Jazz in Britain has set up a new music imprint: Jazz Now. The first release is Gravity by Eternal Triangle. Watts is a phenomenon. Just listen and enjoy the surge of music from this new group. What a celebration of the fullness of life and optimism.
Watts has emerged from the UK avant-garde. He has a vast curriculum vitae: Spontaneous Music Ensemble, Amalgam in the 1960s and '70s and Moiré Music in the '80s and beyond. Watts has commented on the intolerance and backbiting of the scene. He has gone beyond that now. This is a man who seeks out melodies, relishes tunes, loves rhythms. His music and his mind are effervescent."

"We recently had the pleasure of booking the one and only Sexy Sax for a fabulous 50th birthday brunch—and let’s just say, Jahiah more than lived up to the name.
From the moment he stepped in, dressed to turn heads and radiating charisma, he had the crowd buzzing. His music was pitch-perfect for the occasion and energetic in all the right places. He seamlessly coordinated with the DJ playing high-energy pop hits that kept guests smiling, swaying, and filming on their phones.
Jahiah's presence elevated the event from a great party to an unforgettable experience. Whether gliding through the crowd or serenading the birthday queen, Sexy Sax owned every note and every moment. An absolute showstopper! Highly recommend Jahiah for any event where you're looking to add flair, fun, and unforgettable musical energy. 10 out of 10, all day."
