Saxofrancis: Psychiatrist by day, DJ by night. Both of his hemispheres are working at full capacity.
By day, he listens to souls at the Central Military Hospital (ÚVN), and by night, he energizes the crowd. Dr. František Šalanda — psychiatrist, DJ SaxoFrancis, and musical alter ego John Sarkander. He connects the energy of DJing with the passion of the saxophone. A graduate of the Pardubice Conservatory, he is not afraid to experiment and push genre boundaries, blending live performance with electronics, and his name resonates on prestigious stages.
He has performed in two clubs ranked in the world TOP15 — Papaya (#6) and Noa (#13) at the iconic Zrće Beach in Croatia — and he tours across Europe: Poland, Hungary, Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy, and more. He began his journey in 2017 in the DJ No1 TV Óčko competition, opened his first doors at the Prague Duplex, and today he is among the most original performers of the Czech club scene.
At the beginning of October, he passed his core exam in psychiatry, and by mid-November, he is set to perform in France, in Marseille. He lives each day to the rhythm.
