Born: June 29

Oscar Evans is a jazz composer and multi-instrumentalist from Kingston, Ontario specializing in upright bass and trumpet. Blinded in his adolescence, Oscar has gravitated toward learning multiple instruments as a medium for understanding music theory and musicianship, and specializes in bass, drums, and trumpet.

Oscar pursued his passion for jazz at Humber College where he majored in trumpet. In 2025, Oscar released two albums of jazz standards—one featuring him on trumpet, titled Library Sessions, and the other featuring him on bass, titled Live at the Hotel Wolfe Island. His Gotta Start Somewhere EP featuring four original compositions was released in December 2025. Oscar consistently pushes his own boundaries to create interesting new music. His 2026 album Sound Permutations is a solo free jazz project on which Oscar plays bass, drums and trumpet. Forthcoming in 2027 is a full length album of original compositions titled Vibration Society which was recorded at the Bathouse Studio in Bath, Ontario with the support of a project recording grant from the Ontario Arts Council.
