Santana Rojas is an Freelance Trumpeter and Private Instructor in Austin, Texas and its surrounding areas, with focus in genres such as Jazz, Funk, Indie, Pop, Classical, and Country. Although young in his performing career, Santana has toured and shared the bandstand with Grammy Award-winning artists Gerald Clayton and Jazz Luminaries such as Andre Hayward, Rodney Whitaker, Bryan Carter, Christian Sands, Immanuel Wilkins, Mathis Picard, Dan Chmielinski, and local Austin figureheads such as Christian Wigs, Mike Sailors, John Mills, and Paul Deemer to name a few.

Santana is currently an undergraduate student at UT Austin’s Butler School of Music in the process of getting his Jazz Performance degree. During his time attending UT in just his 2nd year, he was awarded the “Eleanor Alexander Stripling Award of Excellence” only offered to undergraduates once per year. 

Santana's latest studio project is alongside Steve Carlson and Jensen Ackles's recent #1 Country Album entitled "Keep on Ramblin", and he performs alongside his combo in the Indie Video Game "Yoko Redux Dream of a Blue Planet".
