Troy Andrews, also known by the stage name Trombone Shorty, is an American musician, producer, actor, and philanthropist from New Orleans, Louisiana. He is best known as a trombone and trumpet player but also plays drums, organ, and tuba.

Trombone Shorty Height: How tall is Trombone Shorty?

At 6, he started on the trombone, but as Andrews says, “I remember I really couldn’t go past the third position with my arm, so I had to like use my foot.” Hence his nickname, “Trombone Shorty.” Today, Andrews’ nickname is pretty much obsolete. He’s 22 and almost six feet tall.

He was a shorty when he first played on these streets at age 4 with a trombone larger than he was, and the name stuck.

Andrews was born into a musical family. His grandfather was singer-songwriter Jessie Hill. He led his first band at age 8 and was a touring musician by 10. He played with Bo Diddley and got a New Orleans-style education with a variety of local greats, including Wynton Marsalis and the Neville Brothers
