Higson

Higson is a Brazilian-born saxophonist based in Dubai, named Best Saxophonist in Dubai 2023. His repertoire leans pop covers and smooth jazz — melodies a room recognises — and he scales to whatever the booking needs: solo with backing tracks, alongside a DJ, or as a duo, trio, or full band on request. One artist, several formats, without bringing in another supplier. He's a multi-instrumentalist beyond the sax — guitar, piano, and keys — which gives him more range across a long night than a sax-only act. His UAE credits include Burj Khalifa, Atlantis The Palm, Armani Hotel, One&Only, Ritz Carlton, Grand Hyatt, JW Marriott, Sheraton Grand, Anantara The Palm, Taj The Palm, SLS Dubai, and SIKKA Festival, plus InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah and Marriott Al Forsan in Abu Dhabi. Book him for: * Solo sax sets — performing with backing tracks, no additional musicians required * Sax with DJ — live saxophone alongside a resident or guest DJ * Duo, trio & band bookings — scaled-up live formats on request * Venue residencies — recurring weekly or monthly slots * Hotel & lounge programming — smooth jazz and pop covers for F&B hours * Beach club & pool parties — daytime and sunset outdoor performance * Brunches & day parties — weekend daytime sets * Weddings — ceremony, reception, and party performance * Corporate events & brand activations — live sax built around a brand or theme * Festivals & concerts — larger-format public events * Private parties — bespoke performance for private functions
