Researched musician profile
About Mark Kavuma
Kavuma’s official site identifies him as a trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and teacher. His artist-run Bandcamp places him in London and separates his own quartet from The Banger Factory and from ensemble work led by other artists.[1][2]
Banger Factory Records documents the ensemble’s start in 2015 and the label’s founding by Kavuma in 2021. The organization presents both as platforms for London artists rather than treating the label roster as permanent members of Kavuma’s performing band.[3]
Magnum Opus, released in 2024, expands The Banger Factory across fifteen tracks and a large roster of London musicians. Its Bandcamp credits Kavuma on trumpet, identifies him as executive producer, and preserves original compositions and arrangements without implying every guest belongs to his quartet.[4]
The Banger Factory
Kavuma founded the London ensemble in 2015 as a flexible, multi-generational setting for his leadership and writing.[3][4]
Banger Factory Records
The label founded in 2021 extends Kavuma’s work into artist development and independent releases.[3]
Magnum Opus
The 2024 fifteen-track release documents an expanded Banger Factory with Kavuma as trumpeter and executive producer.[4]
