Popularly known as TJ Sax, the soulful and skillful musical genius has shown that age does not matter when it comes to giving back to his society.

TJ Sax, who was born on November 24, 2001 in Lagos Nigeria, has played at the Aso Villa in Abuja – in 2011 at the former first Lady, Patience Jonathan’s Children’s Day party.

The thrilling act released an album in 2011 when he was just 10 years old, with hit tracks such as Forever Young, originally rendered by Jay-Z; He Lives in me, by Diana Ross; a sax medley, and a host of other songs.

He has performed with leading Nigerian acts such as MI, Sasha P, Mode 9, Rock Steady, Dammy Krane, Solidstar, Vector, Sound Sultan and Tuface Idibia.
