At a young age, Giveton taught himself how to play the trumpet. From there he has gone on to share the stage with some of the biggest names in music such as Wynton Marsalis, Jon Batiste, and Ben Wolfe. On top of that, earlier this year he was awarded the Letter One Rising Star Jazz Award. All that while he’s still continuing his studies at The Juilliard School. Giveton’s debut album, True Design, was released on April 19, 2020, which also happens to be his birthday. Giveton isn’t the only top-notch player on this album, Immanuel Wilkins (alto sax), Micah Thomas (piano), Kyle Benford (drums), and Philip Norris (bass) all lend their amazing talents to bring this album to life. In this episode, Giveton shares his background, education, and musical journey.
