J-SAX + Musician in Montreal, QC

SEEKING

ABOUT

Originally from Zurich, Switzerland, I am now based as a freelance musician in Montreal. I trained as a professional jazz saxophonist at the University of the Arts HKB in Bern, Switzerland, graduating with a master’s degree.
I have extensive musical performance experience and have played well over 1000 concerts, TV shows and tours by now. One of my strengths is my musical versatility and I am therefore regularly asked to play in jazz or cover bands, musicals, at corporate events, weddings, recording sessions or even with DJs.
Over the past few years I had the opportunity to perform on stage alongside such musicians as Quincy Jones, Michael Bublé, The Manhattan Transfer, Al Jarreau and Jacob Collier.
