Description
Elijah Paul is a highly experienced Jazz and Pop Saxophonist, performing regularly both as a solo artist and in several professional bands.
Elijah began playing Sax at the age of 12, and was initially classically trained, achieving Grade 8 after six years. He furthered his studies at Canterbury Christ Church University. Whilst attending he progressively moved away from his classical roots to Jazz studies where Elijah flourished as a respected performer and composer. Since graduating with first class honours in Jazz Performance and Composition, Elijah has made a name for himself as a go-to session musician and solo performer, as well as being part of many successful bands, performing at many festivals and events across Europe.
Elijah is a passionate performer and this comes across in his lively and energetic performances. With a repertoire of over 150+ songs, covering many genres from Jazz and Neo-Soul to Pop and Motown classics. Elijah prides himself on his ability to handpick the ultimate setlist for every event, playing with professionally recorded and arranged backing tracks through state-of-the-art sound equipment (Stage lighting also available on request).
As a soloist, he can easily tailor his performance to his client's specific tastes and requirements, allowing them to highlight or deselect any tracks from his repertoire. He can also offer the opportunity to request a few songs for him to learn specially in advance.
Elijah performs everything from memory and uses a wireless, radio microphone where needed. This enables him to move around the venue as he wishes, creating the perfect atmosphere everywhere he goes.
A solo saxophone performance is a terrific way to add that extra sparkle to your wedding day, party or any other event. It's unique, classy and fun, and goes a long way towards creating that 'no-expenses-spared' feel without overloading the budget. Solo saxophone music is ideal for wedding ceremonies as well as light entertainment for drinks and dining, and is certain to be a real highlight of the day.
Elijah is constantly seeking opportunities to bring his charismatic sound and solo brand of entertainment to a wider audience, striving to leave his audience on an unforgettable high.
He is able to be booked for Weddings, Private Parties and Corporate Events, as well as Studio and Session work.

• Sept. 8, 2019Elijah Paul kept in touch with us on the lead up to our party. He arrived as agreed and was friendly and accommodating and most importantly - plays the saxophone brilliantly! He played two sets and thoroughly entertained our guests, who were dancing along or simply sitting in the garden enjoying his performance and the vibe. It set the mood perfectly and we would definitely recommend and book him again.
