Either knee sliding across the stage and throwing his jacket off or playing a sentimental ballad, Kamrin Ortiz brings an exciting presence to any stage he’s on! Raised in Antioch, CA, Kamrin’s interest began through listening to 78 records with his father and being put to sleep countless nights to Coleman Hawkins’ BODY & SOUL. Eventually he was able to play the tenor sax and start searching for a sound of his own. Kamrin has a loud and commanding approach hearkening back to the tough toned Texans of Herschel Evans, Arnett Cobb, and Illinois Jacquet. He also plays the rest of the saxophone family and clarinet.

Kamrin moved to Sacramento in 2022, where he travels the Bay Area and the states recording and preforming the music he loves. As of now he has toured Europe three times and is looking at even more countries on the horizon.

Kamrin plans to further add more originals to the world and hopes to record his song STEPPIN’ LIGHTLY before the end of this year! Stay tuned!
