Edwin Corne is an Australian-Chinese jazz guitarist based in New York City. Born in 1999 and raised in Shanghai, he moved to New York to pursue a Bachelor of Music at The New School of Jazz, where he earned a spot in Hal Galper’s Rhythm Section Workshop. In 2025, he received his Master of Music in Jazz Studies from The Juilliard School.
