TIWA BLEU

⭐ Tiwa Bleu (also known as Gustavo Flores) is an artist, producer, jazz instrumentalist, and all round percussionist. From his late childhood to teen years, he has studied to understand the craft of drumming and percussion playing, soon catching interest in jazz at the age of 13. His deep diving into music throughout high school led him to be inspired by the works of Bobby Hutcherson, Wayne Shorter, Cal Tjader, and Sun Ra; alongside composers from Italian film music libraries such as Piero Piccioni, Piero Umilliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, and Nora Orlandi. Although Tiwa's roots reside in jazz, he's also participated in rock and and R&B settings such as the rock band Vacants and solo artists FELTWELL and Nico Nico. In 2022 Tiwa formed an outlet for traditional jazz, acid jazz, and neo soul: The Luxure Trio. Since then, The Luxure Trio plays once a month at Society 57: a lounge located in downtown Aurora. After meeting more jazz instrumentalists along the way, Tiwa has had the opportunity to add more textures to his project, giving birth, to his full band.
