TromBobby

Certainly one of the core figures in the instrumental scene of Bulgaria, Bojidar Vasilev AKA TromBobby combines his long-time passion, the trombone, with peculiar beats and excels when it comes to creating non-linear sonic experiences inspired by artists like ?uestlove, J Dilla, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, and Kendrick Lamar. TromBobby grew up in Sofia, entangled in jazz by his parents at a young age. In his early years, Bobby suffered an ear trauma that concerned his parents and endangered his hearing. He discovered his love for beat-making while studying jazz trombone at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (while listening to J Dilla’s “Fall In Love” on repeat), which opened the door to the young artist and served as a trampoline toward his later growth as a musician. TromBobby has played with and produced for a number of musicians from both the local and international music scenes, like Jermaine Holmes, Frank Nitt (Frank N Dank), and Brianna Castro.
