Ellie Sax FAVOURITE 4

An award-winning graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music, the dazzling Ellie Sax is one of the world’s most prominent dance music saxophonists, performing at festivals, iconic clubs and exclusive private events all across the globe: from New Year’s Eve in the Maldives, pool parties in Ibiza, and moonlight raves in the Caribbean to headliner club appearances in New York, Marbella, Portugal, the Cote d’Azur, Cyprus, Croatia and more. Ellie travels the world with her DJ husband Harry, aka Laser Boy Wonder, and together they also create music in their home studio.

During festival season, Ellie has warmed up stages for artists such as Chase & Status, The Kaiser Chiefs, Judge Jules, Skepsis and Sam Ryder, and has also supported artists including The Black-Eyed Peas and Ministry of Sound Classical. Next month, she’ll be bringing Ibiza to British crowds at Windsor Racecourse for their one-day spectacular; Summertime Live.

What Makes Ellie

Happy

Being on stage and sharing the experience with my husband and DJ, Harry. 

Sad

Not seeing my friends and family as much as I would like – especially in busy season.

Confident 

Staying fit and healthy; eating well and going to the gym. 

Reflective

Ibiza. And therapy 

Angry

Unkindness and rudeness 

Creative 

Having fun. The more fun I have, especially when I’m performing, the more creative I feel, and I get inspired to make new remixes and tracks. 

Ellie Sax will be joining the lineup at Summertime Live on 16 August at Windsor Racecourse. Now in its seventh year, expect four stages of live music and DJs, headlined by Ellie with Ministry of Sound Ibiza Anthems. Other artists include Sigma, Blazin’ Squad, Switch Disco and So Solid Crew, plus this year HedKandi will be hosting the Dome Stage. There will be roaming entertainers, a fun fair, a silent disco, a variety of bars – including a shisha bar – and lots and lots of street food vendors. Tickets start from £29.50, strictly 18+.
