About me
My musical journey began when I was eight years old. One day, I came home from school and told my parents, quite seriously: “I want to play the saxophone.” Why the saxophone? I didn’t really know myself — but the decision was firm.
When I went to the Janina Miščiukaitė School of Art in Jonava, I was offered several options — the piano, guitar, trumpet… But I kept insisting: “Only the saxophone!”
My greatest stroke of luck was meeting my teacher, Kęstutis Janušaitis. If it weren’t for him, I probably would have thrown my music notebooks into a corner long ago. I’m still deeply grateful for his patience, encouragement, and the skills he helped me develop.
While at school, the saxophone became my daily companion — after classes, everyone else went home, but I headed straight to music lessons. At first, I played only for myself and my teacher, but soon I began receiving requests to perform at school events. That’s when I realized the saxophone could not only bring me fulfillment but also make others happy.
Later came my first performances at private celebrations — small and modest, but to me, they felt like grand concerts. Each performance became a new step forward, and the saxophone gradually turned from a hobby into an inseparable part of my life.
After finishing art school, I realized I wasn’t ready to part with the saxophone, so I continued my studies privately with my teacher, Kęstutis Janušaitis. The saxophone was still by my side every day, even as life gradually led me down other paths.
Later, I chose to study at Kaunas University of Technology, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in transport engineering. It seemed like a completely different world — from musical notes to technical drawings and formulas. I even worked as a lab assistant. But honestly, even among drawings and lab equipment, the saxophone never disappeared — it remained my most important “experiment.”
By the time I was at university, I started getting invitations for bigger performances. Alongside my studies, I played at corporate events, weddings, and various celebrations — and over time, this became more than just a hobby; it became a meaningful part of my life.
Even after graduating, the saxophone remained a constant companion, no matter what job I took on. At the same time, being involved in my family business gave me valuable experience and discipline. Music, work, and family intertwined into a unique melody that I still like to call the rhythm of my life.
Today, the saxophone plays a central role in my life — it’s inseparable from both everyday moments and the joy of celebrations. I perform around 100 concerts a year, playing at weddings, birthdays, corporate events, promotional events, parties, and other celebrations. Each performance tells its own story, and my goal is not just to perform, but to create an unforgettable atmosphere, leaving listeners with good vibes and happy memories.
Music has become more than a profession — it’s a way of life. Every day, the saxophone invites me to create, share emotions, and bring a sense of celebration to every performance.
