Awen Robbe

Awen Robbe is a young trumpeter and ecletic composer from France. From an early age, he was immersed in music (especially in Jazz & Breton culture) thanks to his father Fabien Robbe, Jazz pianist & multi-instrumentalist. He began playing the trumpet at 7 at the "Maison of Arts" in Baud, with his first teacher, Guillaume St-Michel. He started young to perform on stage, playing his first professional concerts at the age of 12, between Fest-Noz and major Breton festivals.

Awen is a traveler of musical and sonic diversity, accompanied as he is each time, each notes of his trumpet, always bringing with him this touch of jazz.

In 2022, he meet Kirk Joseph, a world-renowned sub-assophonist of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band  (Grammy awards-winning Brass Band from New Orleans) with whom he play at the Jazz Festival of Vannes (France), accompanied by an ephemeral brass band. It’s from this traditional and revealing experience that he links up with the culture of Jazz, highlighting its modernity, the "Jazz of tomorrow", through its open musical eclecticism. He then produced his first album, "Universal Groove", alongside some of the best-known names in the field, released in 2024.
