Rochelle Sloan was born in Houston, TX and has been a lifelong lover of art. She has been dancing ever since she could walk and has been playing trumpet since she could hold one up in her arms. She attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas and was a part of the Meadows Wind Ensemble, Meadows Symphony Orchestra, Meadows Jazz Orchestra, and Southern Methodist University Marching Band.
She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Music and obtained her Texas EC-12 Teacher Certification. Since then, she has been a Texas-based freelance trumpet player, as well as a private lesson instructor/clinician for Fort Bend ISD and Cypress-Fairbanks ISD.
She has performed and recorded with a vast number of artists in a wide variety of genres that have helped her to grow into the well-rounded musician that she is today.The majority of gigs that Rochelle currently takes on are high-energy pop, funk, and dance music performances and recording sessions.
She can entertain creatively as a soloist with a DJ and also has organized a band for events and festivals as well as a horn section available for hire. She was most recently awarded for "Exceptional Musicianship in Houston, TX" by Broadcast Houston and won The Annual Comp-U-Dopt Oktoberfest Talent Show with an original composition. Her professional affiliations include Houston Latin Jazz Ensemble, Stargazer Productions, Texas Music Educators Association, and Texas Bandmasters Association. In 2022 she jumped on board with Dovle V and was an immediate stand out with her horn stylings. She adds vibrance and excitement to an already massively energetic outfit and is poised to electrify all audiences along-side this eccentric group of musicians! Dovle V is here, and Rochelle Sloan has arrived!
