Luis AlaS - BIO

A Captivating Voice of the Saxophone

Luis Alas is a saxophonist, producer, and genre-blending artist whose music fuses smooth jazz, Latin rhythms, chill house, and ambient textures into a signature sound that’s both timeless and forward-thinking. Originally from Miami and now based in Georgia, Luis has built a career on expressive saxophone performance and sonic storytelling.

His recent reimagined releases—“Sippin On Jack 2025,” “Chocolate 2025,” “Walking In A Dream,” and “Forever Again”—showcase his evolution as an artist, blending live instrumentation with modern production to create immersive, emotionally resonant tracks. These are joined by fresh originals like “Sax You Up,” a sultry, groove-driven anthem, and “Lullaby for a Rainy Night,” a cinematic, introspective piece that highlights his ambient jazz sensibilities.

Luis’s earlier singles, including “All I Do,” “You Mean Everything To Me,” and “Together Forever,” earned him top spots on the Smooth Jazz Charts and established his reputation for crafting heartfelt, genre-defying music.

He has performed alongside legends such as Anita Baker, George Duke, Jon Secada, and Savoy Brown, and graced stages at major festivals and venues across the country. His live shows are intimate yet dynamic—perfect for lounges, rooftop venues, and festivals that celebrate musical artistry and atmosphere.

As he continues to refine his sound and expand his reach, Luis is actively seeking performance opportunities, collaborations, and placements that align with his vision: music that moves, connects, and transcends.

"Shades of my Soul' is a debut CD for Luis and contains three tracks of his original compositions. I guess you could say he's no stranger to music; he's played saxophone for Anita Baker and George Duke, has toured in over 30 countries and now has decided it's time to go solo. He is probably having his own personal "what if" moment. Not to worry Mr. Alas. From what I'm hearing on this introductory CD, you have defeated your "what if" and so have I. The titled track, "Shades Of My Soul," opens with a powerful bass line and leads into a smooth groove of "saxiness." I love a saxophonist who's not afraid to hit every note possible. "Bella's Melody" is oh so sweet. Nothing like two sounds coming together in the most beautiful way. His saxophone is telling a story on this track and the piano is co-signing to every word. I can't say what the story is; this is one you interpret individually. One thing for certain, you will definitely have a different interpretation each time you

“Having heard Luis Alas’ great cover of Grover Washington Jr’s Mr. Magic, I was happy to read that Luis would be performing at a local venue. Luis was superb on Saxophone and managed to infuse a jazzy feel throughout the entire show. He performed for three hours and we as and our group enjoyed every minute. So… if you get an opportunity to see Luis perform, take that chance and you will not be disappointed.”

Luis Alas is a rock star with no comparison. I have had the honor of coordinating the annual Winter Concert Series for the City of Norcross for 15 years. Over the years we host both national touring groups like Spyro Gyra, Shakatak, and many others. After hearing Luis’ music I knew we had to have him and he did not let us down. Luis is a force to be reckoned with and hope to soon see him on the same stages as these other groups as he fits right in.
