Introduction: Hi, my name is Bill, please check out my videos if you’d like to be serenaded! I play smooth jazz instrumentals of classic and modern R&B and pop, (and classic jazz too). I've toured nationally (by land and sea), and performed for events such as: Silent Auctions, Weddings, Corporate Events, The U.S. Military, Fundraisers, Galas, Holiday Parties, Private Events, Sporting Events, Engagement Parties, Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, Valentine's Day, and others. I studied music and performed in various ensembles at Indiana University, with a BA degree in Telecommunications, and Minor in Music. I've opened for (and occasionally shared the stage with) legendary national touring artists. I am grateful and incredibly fortunate to do this for a living! I treat every event with the same level of professionalism. What you can expect: A seamless, professional, and inspired performance from start to finish. You should hire me if: You want a soundtrack with elegance and soul. What I provide: Most (or all) of my own live sound gear, flexibility to work with your schedule, and positivity.

KillBill's performances at the benefit auctions that I've worked alongside him at are top-notch! He's an entertaining and very talented musician that knows how to both work the crowd for a solo performance and provides soothing background music for a cocktail hour type of setting. 10 out of 10, I would highly recommend hiring him for any gala fundraiser to help add to the ambiance of the event.

When we started planning our wedding I knew right away I wanted to involve Bill in our special day one way or another. I have seen his performances and was blown away by his talent. When we first met with Bill we immediately connected with his vibe. He is the definition of cool, funky, fun, and also extremely professional. He entertained our guests between the ceremony and reception with groovy tunes from classic soul and R&B hits to pop favorites. He was able to read the crowd and our guests loved him! My favorite part of the night was when he jammed with our wedding DJ in a total improv moment that got everyone on the dance floor and took the party to a whole new level. I can’t thank Bill enough for those memories that our friends still rave about today.

Usually, we just have the DJ play light music during our annual employee appreciation party during dinner but decided to contract Bill Hauser of Kill Bill Sax instead. As the event chair, I received MANY comments both during and after the event about how much our guests enjoyed the music. He really “classed up” the event with his professionalism and talent. He is also very easy to work with. If you want to make both your event and your planning team look good, contract Kill Bill Sax! Our organization or affiliates have booked him several times since our first experience because everyone enjoyed his music so much.

Experience with Killbill Sax performing was amazing. I booked him only 2 weeks before the private graduation party and it was well worth it. Very professional. Meet all accommodations that I requested within such a short period of time. Music was great and everyone enjoyed themselves. Will definitely be booking again with him.

I’ve used Bill for a few events and he is always a huge hit and easy to work with! He played at our Christmas party one year and everyone loved him! We also used him for a virtual event, and his set-up was top notch. The sound came through great and he even had the ability to customize a rolling banner onscreen. His music and flare add a fun and classy ambiance to any room. Virtual and in-person. Highly recommend him!
