Called “the world star of the tuba” (Quotidien) and voted Instrumental Soloist of the Year at the age of 24 at the Victoires de la Musique Awards, Thomas Leleu is a celebrated musician and recording artist who has performed as a soloist in more than 40 countries.

After graduating from the CNSM de Paris — and winning international competitions in Germany, South Korea and Luxembourg — Leleu was appointed to the Philharmonique de l’Opéra de Marseille at the age of 19. In 2018, he was invited to Berlin and featured in the ZDF/Arte television program Stars von Morgen (Stars of Tomorrow).

As a recording artist, Leleu has released five albums, and in 2024 founded his own label, Tuba French Touch. His latest album, Outsider, was released on March 1 to international critical acclaim.
