HEATHER SAX
Sultry, stonkin’, stealthy, subtle, screaming… always the tallest player in the room and never anything less than uberglam,
ABOUT HEATHER
With a towering presence and bubbling charisma, Heather has taken the saxophone to new heights as a solo performer. Mixing jazz, Soul, Funk, House, Afro, Latin, D’n’B, R’n’B, Hip Hop and classical sensibilities, she’s skilled in hitting just the right style and sound for any setting.
Heather started her professional career aged 17, performing with her band for luminaries including Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Niel Kinnock, Judi Dench and Beryl Bainbridge for One World Action. Her charismatic sax performances have taken her all over the world, improvising with top DJs and musicians from Bryan Ferry to Amy Winehouse. She’s rocked the Cannes Film Festival with Norman Jay, added her liquid sax to sundowners with Jeremy Healy at Cafe Del Mar in Ibiza and got the crowd jumping with Giles Peterson, Seb Fontaine, Brandon Block, Lisa Loud and Danny Rampling.
A regular on the F1 circuit, she’s played for Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and VIPs in Abu Dhabi, Silverston and Monaco. Her band wowed the crowd in Athens for the FA Cup final and she’s added her infectious energy to the BAFTA after party two years running.
Heather is a musical chameleon, she’s as comfortable rubbing shoulders with Prince William on a packed dancefloor as performing at legendary jazz club Ronnie Scott’s. At film premier parties, she’s played for an A list of celebrites as long as your arm, including Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Victoria and David Beckham, Al Pachino, Lou Reed, Michael Caine, Kim Cattrall, Slash, Daniel Craig, Robbie Coltrane, Tara Fitzgerald, Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Watson, Sam Mendes and Grace Jones.
A seasoned front line musician, she’s played with Roy Ayres, Nigel Kennedy, Lulu, Michael Franti and toured with the Guillemotts.

Her musical timing and taste is impeccable, chosing just the right musical style to perfectly enhance the occassion. She’s performed several times for Richard Mille and Richard Branson, in the UK, Shanghi and Australia.
Her sax has provided the soundtrack for numerous events for Bentley, McLaren and Porsche at events around Europe.
Nice to know…….
- Following a meeting with Richard Branson at a Virgin party in Shanghai, Heather was flown firstclass to Australia to perform overlooking Sydney Harbour.
- Her favourite venue is always Ronnie Scott’s – appearing there gives her goosebumps to this day.
- Amy Winehouse was a gatecrasher at one of her gigs, and ended up sitting on Heather’s knee, demanding to be taught to play the soprano sax , she was a fast learner apparently.
- She once performed in a polar bear suit at a Christmas party in Antwerp.
- Heather describes herself as ‘very tall with a passion for balsamic vinegar’. But the two are apparently unconnected.
