Troy Andrews, better known as Trombone Shorty, picked up his first instrument before he could read and led his first band at the age of 6.
As Mardi Gras celebrations are underway in New Orleans on Fat Tuesday, all eyes are on a performer who represents the heart, soul and success of the city: Troy Andrews, better known as Trombone Shorty.
"Then we did like this big protest and different things," he continued."Because of that moment, the kids and people who want to play on the street are still able to do that because of what we did." That's never the case during New Orleans' Mardi Gras celebrations, where everyone knows Trombone Shorty. After all, it's hard to miss his float, which features a sculpture of him playing his instrument.
Even after the Mardi Gras season ends, Andrews stays focused on the reach of his music. He operates the Trombone Shorty Foundation to support the next generation of musicians.
