Antoine Drye, hailing from Washington D.C., is a NYC-based, freelance trumpeter, where he has been a mainstay on the music scene since 1999. Drye’s warm, inviting tone and lyrical style are often noted. He plays a wide range of music from American music’s vast songbook, as well as originals. BAMONO (Black American Music Of New Orleans) is a collective group that highlights the music of New Orleans composers and musicians.

Having graduated from North Carolina School of the Arts (HS diploma), University of New Orleans (BM) and Aaron Copland School of Music (MM) gives Drye an impressive list of academic credentials. Yet, it’s his on-the-job training that has most significantly shaped his playing and career.
