Aaron Tlori’ina

Musician

Aaron also known as Aaron Tloti’ina, is a trombonist, vocal improviser, and composer hailing from the Great State of Texas. At the age of thirteen he enrolled in the Palo Alto Middle School Band, assigned the trombone by his then-band director, when he originally wanted to be a trumpet player. After reluctantly deciding to stay on the instrument, it will carry him all the way through to Berklee College of Music on a scholarship where he earned a degree in Performance in 2022.  Both during and after college, Aaron has worked extensively as an on-call Trombonist who’d lend his talents to hundreds of studio sessions and countless performances with many different artists, whose styles range dramatically from Indie/Folk to Jazz, Hip-Hop, R&B, Latin/Salsa, West African traditional, South African Pop, and experimental music. Since settling in Los Angeles in 2024, Aaron has continued to refine his skills and expand his knowledge on composing and traditional music of West African origin, and continues to seek avenues to share the music of the diaspora with the community he now calls home.
