Trumpeter

Birmingham

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I am a trumpet player based in Birmingham. I am currently in my fourth year of study on the BMus jazz course at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. I mainly play pop, jazz, funk, afro-cuban, soul, latin and R&B, but I have experience in many other styles, and I love playing and learning all kinds of music! I can happily sight-read, improvise or learn songs by ear. I can also sing backing vocals and bring the vibes to the stage! I am also active in London and Manchester, and have a bell mic and in-ears.

Christian's Reviews

This was a very enjoyable set which was well received by a good-sized audience. The group is definitely ready for bookings at venues such as the Spotted Dog, Cherry Reds and in due course at Symphony Hall's Free Jazz Friday.

Great trumpet player with great energy!
