FAQs
Your Questions, Answered.
-
Q: How do I secure my date?
A: It is a streamlined, professional process designed to ensure we are a perfect creative match.
Creative Sync: We talk through your overall musical vision and review the venue's technical layout.
Services Suite: Post-call, I launch your custom selection menu. You use this to pick your performance block and select the travel path that fits your setup.
Booking Suite: Once your selections are confirmed, I send over your finalized contract and invoice to officially secure your date on the calendar.
Music Blueprint: We finalize the run-of-show and music direction (30 days out), and I head into the studio to prepare your custom saxophone arrangements (and DJ sets if I am leading the sound).
Q: Do you travel for destination weddings?
A: Yes. I handle all the logistics so you don't have to.
Local: Travel is complimentary within 30 miles of Studio City.
Regional & Beyond: For events in Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, and beyond, I provide a single flat fee that covers all travel and lodging (if applicable). No hidden costs.

Q: What is the difference between the “Artist" and "Production"?
A: It comes down to who controls the room.
The Artist: You have a DJ, but you want energy. I join your team as a featured artist to elevate the dance floor.
The Production: I provide the sound, the mix, the Emcee duties, and the live sax. You hire one expert to manage the entire run-of-show.
Q: If I book a "Production" package, do I need a separate DJ?
A: No. I am your DJ, Saxophonist, and MC all in one.
However, I don't just stand behind a table. I utilize a Hybrid Performance Workflow. By preparing custom edits and seamless transitions in the studio—effectively acting as my own producer before the event—I am free to move wirelessly through the room. This ensures the music never stops, the transitions are flawless, and the energy remains interactive.
-
Q: Can we request specific songs?
A: Absolutely. This is your soundtrack. You provide your "Must-Plays" and/or "Do-Not-Plays" in the Music Design Profile. I build the set list around those pillars.
Regarding Guest Requests: I am happy to take them, but I act as a filter. If a guest requests a song that fits the vibe we established, I play it. If it clears the dance floor or if you’d rather no guest requests, I politely pivot.
Q: Do you play from a set list?
A: I play to the room, using your preferences as my compass. I don't stick to a rigid script because a great party is a living thing. I read the crowd in real-time, freestyling over the tracks to keep the energy peaking.

Q: What do you need from the venue?
A: My footprint is minimal. For 'The Production' packages, I require access at least 2 hours prior to the performance start time for setup and sound check. I simply need one standard power outlet at each performance location. For 'The Artist' packages, , I require access at least 1 hour prior to the performance start time for setup and sound check. I am fully wireless and just need a designated area to store my case.
Q: Are you insured?
A: Yes. I carry full commercial liability insurance and will provide a COI (Certificate of Insurance) to your venue upon booking.
