After moving to New York City, Snitzer pursued a career as a session musician and composer.[5] He provided the saxophone solo in Boy Meets Girl's 1988 hit "Waiting for a Star to Fall".[6] Snitzer has released several albums as a solo artist, including Ties That Bind, In the Eye of the Storm, Some Quiet Place, and Traveler.[7] His music is a blend of contemporary jazz, pop, and R&B. Ties That Bind received critical acclaim for its "sensuous melodies and rich harmonies" and was described as "one of the most enjoyable smooth jazz albums of the year" by JazzTimes.[8] He has written music for television commercials and produced music for several artists. Snitzer won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album at the 60th Grammy Awards as part of the Jeff Lorber Fusion.[9]
