Victor Haskins is a visionary, world-class trumpet and electronic wind instrument player, composer/arranger, bandleader, and educator. A consummate performer, Victor is the originator of ImproviStory, a genre/concept of music where storytelling drives the creation of improvised music, all derived from audience suggestion and interaction. Outside of his own musical, Haskins is also an incredible salsa dancer and instructor.

A recipient of awards from the National Endowment of the Arts and the Virginia Commission for the Arts, Victor has been featured at the Richmond Jazz Festival, the Elkhart Jazz Festival, and the Festival of New Trumpet Music. He has recorded and performed with such notables as Lonnie Liston Smith, Rene Marie, k.d. lang and The Temptations.

He released his debut album of all original compositions--"The Truth"--on 32 Bar Records in March of 2013 and has been the Director of the first and only Jazz Outreach program for the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts National Symphony Orchestra Education Department since its inception in 2014.

His compositions and improvisations never cease to elude the expectations of the listener, thus providing a constant stream of interest and excitement--all possible because of a foundation of meticulous, originally-conceived logic, and an open mind. The only predictable aspect of Victor's music is the clear message forged into the hearts and minds of listeners.
