Biography of Karin Sax: I am a composer of world and jazz music. I come from a world full of wind instruments and improvisation. I also write texts about my philosophy of life and like to spread them around the world. My melodies contain Arabic, Indian and Spanish influences from my travels and tours. The rhythms I use come from Brazil because of my Brazilian dance career. I bring my music through written melodies, lyrics and improvisation from the feeling in the moment.
I started playing the flute when I was 9 years old. This was the start of a classic career. When I was eighteen, I wanted to feel free and started playing jazz. In my early twenties my heart was also stolen by the sound of saxophone and started playing. In 2004 I studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Now I like to share my music style with the world and take it to the next level.
I perform my music in different formations. Because I am very sensitive, I like to choose my musicians, instruments and band formation for each performance and adapt them to the environment and people for whom the music is played. That’s why I have duo and small & large band formations to perform my music.
My last Album I wrote in 2023 with Coco Band is now being arranged for a Big Band by myself. If you want to listen to my last pieces of music please let me know; I will be pleased to send it to you.
