I demonstrate burning passion for what I provide. It works really well for me, and for you, especially in the moments that matter most. If this were baseball, I am the one who exclusively hits home runs every single time the ball is pitched. I can perform anything you desire. I am all about saxophone and music.
For me, life is all about the music. The people. The places. The lifestyle. My schedule is always changing. My life is full of small and great surprises because of my saxophone!
I guarantee you will not have met anyone quite like me. There will always be a magical touch in our time together when you include me in your plans!

I cannot recommend Charlie enough! I hired him super last minute for an intimate birthday surprise, and he exceeded all expectations. Not only was he incredibly professional and punctual—driving in from far away—but he also played the birthday girl’s favorite songs beautifully. His talent is undeniable, and he truly elevated her birthday. I can’t wait for another occasion to hire him again!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Getting to know the person and figuring out how music will add something beautiful to your life.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I always stay on top of my game. I practice often. I am always learning more. In the music business, having a piece of paper that says you play music doesn't mean you're actually good at making music. Always practice!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was 10 years old when I started playing saxophone. I fell in love with it and now that is what I do with my life!
