I've worked with Chris before, and he always delivers. I needed him in kind of a pinch this time -- very gracious, reasonably priced, and excellent turnaround...and of course he killed it on the track. Can't get much better than this!

Chris performed saxophone parts for me on a hip hop/soul recording. He graciously embraced the project and performed creatively in a way that fit my request, with a very quick turnaround. If you want your recording to be taken to the next level, I highly recommend Chris White on the sax.

Great job. Good communication. Easy to work with Chris. Thanks a lot
check_circleVerifiedChris is a very talented sax player! The sax line that he created for my pop song was beautiful and the timing was perfect. As an added bonus, he created an additional background sax line which complemented the song perfectly and will definitely help take my song to a higher level.
