Originally from Towson, Maryland, Hart Guonjian-Pettit is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after jazz and commercial trumpet players in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. With a busy performance schedule, Hart maintains an active career balancing such jazz idioms as hard bop, bebop and traditional jazz with classical chamber and orchestral engagements. His group, HartGP Jazz, can be heard reinvigorating the classic bebop and hard bop style of tried-and-true legacy ensembles such as the Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers band as well as several other historical staples in the jazz genre.

Hart has performed with musicians such as Jazzmeia Horn, George Cables, Charlie Young, Chareneé Wade, Terell Stafford, Warren Wolf, Sean Jones, and Delfeayo Marsalis as well as many other fantastic local icons at countless venues in the DMV. In 2024, Hart performed at the Kennedy Center with the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra as a part of the Jazz Icons series with the Washington Ballet and the New York Voices, receiving critical acclaim from the Washington Post and other media critics. He has studied with Chris Gekker, Chris Vadala, and Alex Norris and has completed undergraduate and graduate study at the University of Maryland, College Park.
