Ludovic Louis began his career as a trumpet player in the heart of a family passionate about music.

By settling in Paris in 2003, Ludovic collaborated with artists such as Jimmy Cliff, Florent Pagny and Christophe Maé. But it was in 2009 that he met Lenny Kravitz. From this meeting will result nearly 10 years of collaboration around the world, where the rock star will not hesitate to offer his audience Ludovic's talent through his improvised solo performances. In 2012, he was asked to repeat the experience by playing a solo for the icons Muhammad Ali and Quincy Jones. By settling in Los Angeles, the artist continued collaborations with Kanye West, The Black Eyed Peas and The Meters.

In 2020, a new opportunity presented itself to Ludovic Louis and it was under the direction of Damien Chazelle that he made his debut as an actor in The Eddy. Through this Netflix series, the artist embodies the character of Ludo, trumpet player in a jazz club.

All his musical encounters ultimately lead him to go solo. It is therefore after several years of work surrounded by his friends, that the trumpeter gives us his first album Rebirth, thus bringing together influences of soul, funk and even Caribbean music.
