Trumpeter Dustin Hengl was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from The University of California at Santa Cruz. Funk, Reggae, Hip-Hop, Rock, Salsa, and Soul are Dustin’s favorite genres of music, but no matter the style of music, he easily blends into every group he performs with, musically and socially. After graduating, Dustin toured parts of the US and Europe with several different bands and then settled in Maui, Hawaii, where he met Willie Nelson. Dustin has performed numerous shows with Willie Nelson over the past 10 years and has also performed with Pat Simmons (Doobie Brothers), Jack Johnson, Los Lonely Boys, Kris Kristopherson, Emil Richards, Francine Reed, Randy Travis, Michael McDonald, John Ford Coley, Rob Wasserman, Jay Collins, Steve Feroni, and many others. Three years ago Dustin returned to California where he has been performing with some of the state's finest musicians. Playing corporate events and weddings with several professional groups, Dustin is able to seamlessly work with a diverse and rotating cast of quality musicians. Presently, Dustin is working on multiple projects. He performs live as a soloist with DJ's playing House music for large events in Las Vegas, and just finished a track for a couple of talented Hip-Hop/R&B artists out of Los Angeles. Dustin is currently performing with RonKat Spearman's Katdelic, Soul Majestic, NRG Band, and is hired as a soloist and section player for local and touring acts. He recently joined Celebrity Hornz, a tight and professional horn section from San Francisco. His confident stage presence and shining charisma are an added bonus to every performance. Dustin feels blessed to share his music with people from around the world.
