Jamal has been a resident of Charleston, South Carolina for over ten years. He has proudly performed in hundreds of weddings from Florida to Delaware, Minnesota and even as far as Milan, Italy within the past decade. His style is heavily rooted in blues, funk, pop and R&B (with just a small bit of jazz). He is not the kind of saxophone player that simply sits in a corner behind the DJ. No, if you want to find Jamal, he’ll be right next you on the dance floor at your wedding or special event.
