The Original Thrive Sound.
This is the original duo that started it all - Rai's warm, angelic voice and Lucian's mastery of many musical styles on saxophone create deep connections with the audience and become the focus of every event. As a duo, they have far more flexibility than full bands with large technical requirements and limited song lists. Choosing the Sax & Soul Duo means choosing an exclusive experience that cannot be recreated.
5-Star Sound
The Sax & Soul Duo delivers an authentic sound recognized all over Phuket. These two musicians were raised in the rich musical culture of California, USA, and the quality of their sound comes from a deep connection to the music they grew up with.
They display an undeniable dedication to their craft with every performance.
​
The Sax & Soul Duo is an integral part of the entertainment offerings of Phuket's most notable venues, including Anantara Resorts, J.W. Marriott, Pullman, Amanpuri Villas, Cafe Del Mar, the Royal Phuket Marina, and many more.
Original Flair
Aside from being the first act of its kind in Thailand, The Sax & Soul Duo also writes and records their own original music. Rai Maia's signature Neo Soul sound can be heard in dozens of her original songs, and Loosh published his first solo album, “Bigger Than This” in May 2025.
The duo has also written many songs together and have collaborated with other talented artists and producers as well. These two stellar soloists come together to create an unforgettable and unique entertainment experience
Global Reach
The Sax and Soul Duo is proud to be able to spread the universal language of music all around the world by touring globally.
Besides their influence in their home base of Phuket, the Thrive Duo is an international powerhouse that has toured in the US, Europe, and Asia. Some notable destinations include Bali (IDN), Boracay (PH), Shanghai (CN), Vientiane (LAO), Montreux (CH), La Seyne (FR), Singapore (SG), Dubrovnik (HR), and of course various locations around Thailand and the US.
