Robyn Steward
“Improvisation is really important to me, I want to respond to the audience around me and give them a positive experience.”
Robyn Rocket is a boundary-blasting space trumpeter, known for her cosmic improvisations, inclusive ethos, and bold experimental sound. Fusing free jazz, live visuals, and joyful collaboration, Robyn curates Robyn’s Rocket - an immersive night at Café OTO that brings together artists with and without learning disabilities for a journey like no other.
Her latest project, Robyn Rocket and People You May of Heard Of, is a genre-smashing collaboration featuring over 20 musicians (and one dog). Recorded across three studios linked to Robyn’s creative worlds - from Café OTO, Total Refreshment Centre and Heart n Soul - it unites legendary figures like Charles Hayward and John Edwards with new-wave jazz voices Alabaster DePlume and Danalogue, alongside Heart n Soul regulars like Dean Rodney Jr. and Sebastian Golgiri. The result? A kaleidoscopic blend of loopy grooves, spoken word, danceable rhythms, and expansive soundscapes—culminating in the moving final track We Are All Human, built around a powerful speech from Robyn herself.
Robyn is an Associate Artist for Heart n Soul and an acclaimed author of three books, she was also part of the core team at Heart n Soul at The Hub.
