Jasper Høiby

Danish double bassist, composer, and bandleader Jasper Høiby has established himself as one of the most dynamic and expressive forces in modern European jazz. Born in Copenhagen on May 10, 1977, Høiby was drawn to rhythm early in life, listening to hip-hop as a pre-teen before picking up the bass at age fourteen. After laying his musical foundations in Denmark, he moved to the United Kingdom in 2000 to attend London's Royal Academy of Music. During his studies, he immersed himself in the city's fertile jazz scene and became an active member of the influential, artist-led Loop Collective, forging connections that would shape his artistic path for decades to come.
