Trumpeter Oskar Stenmark was born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden. His family has a long legacy in music that has been traced back to 1762. Oskar developed a musical interest at an early age and eventually picked up the trumpet. After a Bachelor’s degree in improvisation at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg, Oskar moved to New York to pursue his musical dreams. He has performed for Supreme Court justices, Nobel Price laureates and Federal Reserve chairmen. Oskar's trumpet has been heard at the Super Bowl and in the Matrix Resurrection and has performed with stars such as David Byrne, Living Colour and multiple GRAMMY award winner Maria Schneider Orchestra.
A tenth generation musician, Stenmark has a Master’s degree in Jazz Arts from the Manhattan School of Music and continues to develop his playing and artistic vision while being based in New York and Sweden. He is involved in several bands, including Brass Against, Fleur Seule and 45 Riots. Leading his horn section Presence Horns, his trio, quartet and sextet, Oskar explores the traditional melodies he inherited from his ancestors in Sweden by fusing them together with the sounds of New York City.
