Bio

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 Music majoring 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. Since 2016, Elijah has been playing sax with Ben Russell and The Charmers, an up and coming Kent-based Roots/Reggae band for a few years now. The band has played at many prestigious venues such as O2 Academy Islington and The Garage, along with festivals like Glastonbury, Boomtown and Belgium Roots Reggae Festival. They have just recorded an album, ‘Ocean’ and this has been featured on Radio1 Xtra. In May 2019, Elijah joined Kent based Jazz Funk band Mad Yella. Playing Hideaway jazz club, Margate Soul Festival and Rye Jazz Festival the band has attracted interest from Soul pioneers such as Roy Ayers and Tony Momrelle (Incognito) and Jazz phenom Soweto Kinch. The band is in the process of recording its debut album. Recently Steve Nichol of Loose Ends fame approached Elijah to join him on his new tour. Since joining Elijah has played at Margate Soul Festival and Pizza Express Live, Holborn and will be playing London Jazz Festival later this year.

Testimonials

Thanks so much for 2 fantastic sets at the BBQ on Sunday. We had so many compliments afterwards about the music as it really made the event super special! I shall definitely recommend you! Laura Vivian (Private Party) 10/10 We loved having ambient music for our community to enjoy at the village bbq. Elijah was very professional to deal with and many complimentary thoughts were shared about his performance. Really added something special to the day! Recommended! Amanda (Community BBQ Party) 10/10 Good set last night. Will be looking at adding more dates soon! Many thanks! Tom (Herne Bay Pier Live Event) 10/10 Just wanted to say thanks so much for coming all the way over to Brightling to celebrate our wedding with us, and for playing some beastly sax! Also thanks for helping with sound and generally doing us a solid! You helped make it such an awesome day! James & Sadie (Private Wedding) 10/10 Elijah 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. Lucy Foster (Private Party) 10/10 Arrived on time, and music was lovely, thank you! Would highly recommend. Maro Kirby (Private Party) 10/10 Elijah Paul was very prompt and made our evening a memorable one with the choice of songs and great play. We are grateful for stepping in last minute. Samuel Owiredu (Charity Fundraiser) 10/10 Elijah responded to our request very quickly. We honestly couldn’t have been happier. Any request for songs I made (most of these were less than a week to the event) he learnt and played perfectly. Elijah made me feel at such ease with booking and responded promptly to emails. Elijah mingled well with our party and everyone instantly warmed to him. Quick set up and will cater for any size. Everyone commented on his music and is still very much the talk of the party. We will definitely be in contact again and hope he will be available to play again for us at some point in the future. If you do decide to book you won’t be disappointed. Chelsea Cowley (Private Party) 10/10
