What Carson does

Three ways to move your room

Book one, or stack them. Most couples start with Sax & DJ Fusion and add on from there.

01

Live saxophone

Funk, jazz, soul, R&B, pop and electronic, played live from ceremony to last song.

02

Wedding DJ

A reception soundtrack built around you, mixed by someone who actually plays an instrument.

03

MC

Introductions, toasts, entrances and timeline, kept moving with a warm, easy voice.

About Carson

Raised on sound, built for the room

Carson grew up in Bend, Oregon, chasing every kind of music he could find: funk basslines, jazz solos, pop hooks and the pulse of electronic tracks late into the night. That mix is what you hear in his saxophone, and in every DJ set he plays.

On a wedding day that means lines that move from a Motown groove to a slow, textured ballad without stepping on the moment, and a voice on the mic that keeps everyone in it. Central Oregon is home base, with bookings growing across the Pacific Northwest.
