Julien Bertrand is a trumpeter and composer. Born in 1980 in Clermont-Ferrand, he earned his degrees in classical music from the conservatories in Bordeaux and Boulogne-Billancourt while also taking improvisation classes with Jean-Luc Capozzo and Éric Poirier.

He moved to Lyon in 2002 to study orchestration and trumpet with Pierre Drevet. Since then, Julien Bertrand has pursued a career as a musician, arranger, composer, and teacher of trumpet and jazz. He writes for trumpet and brass ensembles, concert bands, big bands, and various small jazz groups. This composer’s music reflects all of his musical influences, ranging from 20th-century French composers (Ravel) to jazz musicians (John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Roy Hargrove) and other musical styles (hip-hop, reggae, jungle).
