“Grammy-nominated Victor Garcia is a musical force to be reckoned with…” American journalist and radio host Neil Tesser calls him “one of the most exciting young musicians.” Chicago Tribune’s Howard Reich says that he “stands out as an ebullient soloist offering a formidable technique and a radiantly polished tone.” JazzChicago’s Brad Walseth regards him as a “young lion trumpeter.”

He’s as versatile as he is creative. His trumpet talent heralds his international acclaim. He sings, plays piano, percussion, and his songwriting/arranging has led him to professorial positions at Roosevelt University, Loyola University and the University of Illinois in Chicago.

The lineup of greats he’s performed with speaks for itself: Aretha Franklin, Arturo Sandoval, Spoon, Monty Alexander, Wynton Marsalis, Victor Manuelle, Nicholas Payton, La India, the Temptations, Steve Turre, BeBe Winans, Tito Puente, Jr., Paquito d’Rivera, Christian McBride, Randy Brecker, Branford Marsalis, The Isley Brothers, and Dr. John. He released his debut album, The Grind/The Groove in 2018, his sophomore album a time in space in 2024, and has recorded on dozens of other albums, three of them Grammy-nominated.

“Lip Repair from Robinson’s Remedies has saved my chops more times than I can count over the last decade, and I can’t thank Kenny enough for giving me and thousands of other wind musicians such a valuable lifeline! Lip injury? Dryness? Sores? Don’t fret, Kenny’s got your back!”
