Robin Jessome, born in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1980 grew up in a musical environment. He was introduced, by his father, to many musical styles from an early age. In high school he started playing the trombone, encouraged by teacher Mark Bezanson.

Currently working towards a M.Mus degree at the University of Toronto and studying trombone with William Carn and Terry Promane; Robin maintains an active performance schedule and can be found in various settings and venues around Toronto. The move to Toronto comes after spending two years in Victoria, BC.
