Biography: 

Saskia Laroo is one of those all too few artists who are not afraid to be called an entertainer. In her own words: "I like it when people have a good time and dance while I play. I don't want to play just for other [musicians]." Whether it 's her musical performance or just her stage presence, she always does it with style, striking the heart and the eye. With her trumpet, equipped with a wireless microphone Saskia loves to "lounge around" and create pleasant muted athmospheric sounds or give an exciting show, playing kicking hot licks and funky bop solo improvisations surrounded by dancing audiences.
