Performer | Composer | Producer
Hugo is an award-winning saxophonist with international performing and recording experience and five original albums to his name. Trained in both Jazz (ANU/UIUC) and Classical (AMusA) with strong contemporary influences, Hugo’s music draws from a myriad of influences and the output ranges from Fusion, Funk, Blues, Jazz and World through to Pop, Rock, Folk, Reggae and Electronic.
A multi-instrumentalist specialising in the Saxophone and EWI, he also plays Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Percussion, Harmonica and sings.
His latest album, Confluence, was created under the mentorship of Andrew Farriss (INXS) with whom he has worked with extensively both in the studio and on the stage.
Confluence balances the exploration of Art and the comfort of Pop, finding nourishment where these two rivers meet: ideas are drawn from across the board, blending an array of influences, with catchy melodies, experimental forays and all knitted together with a strong sense of groove.
