| Although he is a local hero from Amsterdam, there is nothing that Local Hero on Sax like more than to take his sax on a long journey, playing every occasion that matters. You can find him playing clubs & bars, festivals & weddings, business party’s & dinner shows and in the studio. His sound fits everywhere, cause this hero is always improvising warm, jazzy and funky melodies. Choosing between an alto, tenor or soprano sax with a wireless microphone, he keeps the crowd dancing. Tech house, progressive, club, minimal, deep house, lounge, hip hop, reggae, ska, jazz, funk and blues: Local Hero suits the night. |

As an Amsterdam based artist Local Hero started out playing the saxophone as a teenager like any other wannabe artist would start out: improvising and playing along with records of famous jazz artists. This worked out exceptionally and after numerous sessions with bands and jam sessions Local Hero discovered the freedom of improvising on house music. From that moment on his career skyrocketed, playing with Boy George, Darren Emerson (Underworld), Fedde le Grand, Roog, Laidback Luke, Paul Sparkes, Benny Rodrigues, Per, Erick E, Mark van Dale, Marnix and many, many more. Local Hero played alongside an incredible +500 dj’s in the last decade. His style is as divers as music is, as he can play on almost any type of dance music. But club, minimal, electro, tech house, deep house, progressive and trance are doing it for him the most. In 2008 time came up to create an album. With ‘The Future Sound Of Paradise’ Local Hero made an techhouse style album, with progressive, deephouse, club, funk, jazz and classical influences. It is inspired on artists like Mark Knight, Sébastien Léger, Booka Shade, Trentemřller and Deadmau5 and was produced with Dennis Price. The album will be released by Veth Music at the end of 2010. Some venues Local Hero played: Hotel Arena, Club Noa, Supperclub, Club NL, Winston, Lichtfabriek, Cocoon, Mazzo, Paard van Troje, Mansion, Escape, Noa, Rain, Woodstock, Club Manhattan, Wij, Rechter, Lexion, Jackies, Peppermill, Jimmy Woo, Asta, and so on... He also played Love Parade 2003, Berlin, WMC 2004 at Nikki Beach, Club Bed and the Marlin Bar in Miami and did tours in Russia and Belgium. Most of all, Local Hero is not the next best thing, playing some tunes on house music. This musician goes with the flow, on the flow...
