Atticus

For 24-year-old Brisbane born Atticus, his introduction to the trumpet through specialist school music programs and involvement in the Brisbane Jazz Club’s Talkin’ Jazz Big Band, sparked an early obsession with all thing’s “jazz”. One on one guitar sessions with acclaimed composer and performer, Anthony Garcia, and an invitation to perform solo in the elite MOST master class, under the mentorship of world class trumpeter John Hoffman at just 16, “sealed the deal” and further encouraged Atticus to focus his energies on a long-term future in the music industry.

Atticus has a long list of achievements alongside his studies that includes many performances with jazz greats and more recently accompanying Robbie Williams at the recent AACTA Awards in February 2025.

Now, following the completion of his Honours year at the Conservatorium in 2024, Atticus is playing gigs and continuing with his teaching positions in schools and at the Australian Academy of Music.
