Daniel Rosenboom (b. 5/7/1982) is a young trumpet virtuoso, composer, and creative artist who seeks break musical boundaries by fusing styles in new and inventive ways.

By combining the sounds of contemporary classical music with rock and roll, heavy metal, hip-hop, jazz, experimental electronic music, and traditional folk music from the Balkans, North India, and Middle East, he has created a brand of indefinable and hair-raising music. Uncompromising intensity, tender melodic sensibility, keen intuition, inventive improvisation, the precision of a classical virtuoso with the fervor of a metal rocker, are all phrases audiences have used to describe Rosenboom's unique approach to music.

Recently, Rosenboom released his debut solo CD, Bloodier, Mean Son, which features world-premeire recordings of new works for solo trumpet and electronics, on Nine Winds Records.
