ABOUT
In a short period, musical multitalent Tariq Pijning became a well-renowned saxophonist in the Pop and Dance industry worldwide. Having worked with Dance giants like Kygo, Sam Feldt and KSHMR, and having shared stages with icons like Ms. Lauryn Hill, Tariq already built an impressive career for himself, making him an established name in the industry. With his smooth melodies and spot-on timing, Tariq is one of the few saxophone players who exactly know what it takes to lift a musical experience to a higher level. Since he joined forces with Dutch superstar Sam Feldt in 2016, Tariq found himself maintaining an astonishing international tour schedule, playing sold-out shows at the biggest clubs and festivals around the world, including mainstages at Tomorrowland, Ultra Miami, Mysteryland, Creamfields, Sensation, and many more.
Besides playing the saxophone, Tariq proved to have a talent for producing and composing as well. Since his collaboration with Sam Feldt, he also has been busy writing melodies for songs like "Where's My Love" and recording sax parts for hits like "Sensational”, "Gold”, and KSHMR’s “Ready to Love”. In the meanwhile, Tariq started focusing on projects as a producer as well. His biggest achievement being an official release with EDM superstar Kygo, remixing his hit “Stargazing” into a nostalgic 80s ballad, which hit 1 million streams within 1 week. In 2022, a big dream came true when Tariq was asked to do the full production of Whitney Houston's "Don't Cry For Me" with Sam Feldt, as a part of the soundtrack for Whitney's movie "I Wanna Dance With Somebody". This track ended up hitting 1 million streams within a week too, becoming one of the most popular and most streamed new songs on the soundtrack. With many new songs on the horizon, Tariq will be working on sharing and releasing more personal music and collaborating with other talents, so you can enjoy Tariq’s music anywhere. New music is really coming soon, so make sure you stay up to date on Tariq's social media, so you don't miss anything.
Tariq's wide musical knowledge, combined with his experience as a musician, artist, entertainer, producer and composer, makes him a musical all-rounder and an indispensable name among live acts in the Pop and Dance industry. Wherever Tariq plays, he adds that spark you didn’t know you needed. With rhythmic and melodic influences from jazz, funk, blues and soul, mixed with modern pop, Tariq always hits the right tones, at the right moments.
