Nils Wülker
Born:
Over the past twenty years, Nils Wülker has become one of the most successful jazz trumpeters and composers in Europe. Born in Bonn in 1977, he began piano lessons at the age of seven, switching to the trumpet at ten; initially focusing on classical music, with no trace of jazz yet. During an exchange year in the USA, at the age of sixteen, he finally discovered jazz, and through US3's "Cantaloop" and its original composer Herbie Hancock, he found his way to Miles Davis. Back in Germany, in 1996 he was discovered by the North Rhine-Westphalia Youth Jazz Orchestra, where he played until he began his jazz studies at the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin. Even during his studies, he was active in Peter Herbolzheimer's BuJazzO, the RIAS Big Band, and Thärichen's Tentett, and before graduating in 2002, Nils Wülker released his debut album "High Spirits," which was highly praised by critics and audiences alike, featuring musicians such as Gene Calderazzo and Orlando LeFleming – making him the first German jazz musician to be signed by SONY Music. The following year, the then 26-year-old composed, played, and produced his own new music for Bavarian Television's Space Night, which was released on the album "Space Night Vol. 10 Jazz" (featuring Wolfgang Muthspiel and Jochen Rückert, among others).
