I'm Paul Martyn, a professional sax player, singer and DJ based in Nottingham. I play Ibiza-style live saxophone over my own DJ set, so one booking covers the music from the first drink to the last song. Full sound and lighting come with every package, and I travel UK-wide and abroad.
Most events need more than one kind of music: something relaxed while people arrive, something warmer over food, and something that gets everyone dancing. Booking a sax player, a singer and a DJ separately means three suppliers, three setups and gaps while one hands over to the next.
With Paul it is one act. Live saxophone, vocals and a DJ set are blended into one continuous performance, so the music never stops and the energy never dips. Over 25 years and more than 2,500 events he has played everything from pubs and clubs at 17 to support slots in front of 6,000+ people. One couple called him “a one-man jukebox”.

Sunset-lounge sax that builds into a full house and dance party set. Ibiza sax DJ
The signature sound is live saxophone improvised over house, dance and chart tracks: the sunset sound made famous on the Ibiza party scene. Early on that means relaxed, melodic sax while guests arrive and chat. Later, Paul plays over his own DJ set, picking up the big hooks of the songs everyone knows and adding live sax and vocals on top.
Because the sax player is also the DJ, he can read the room and change direction instantly, without waiting for a band's next set or a DJ handover. Every booking includes a consultation to plan your music, from must-play tracks to anything you'd rather avoid.
The Party Package covers a 2-hour evening set, while Evening Plus and the All-Day Wedding add live sax earlier in the day. Every package includes a full professional sound system and lighting. Prices are "from" prices; your final quote is confirmed after checking your date and location.
