Nigerian Trumpet Influencer Joshua Olusanya Sets Guinness World Record for Longest Marathon Trumpet Playing

In a groundbreaking achievement, Nigerian trumpet influencer Joshua Olusanya has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records for completing the longest marathon playing the trumpet.

Joshua played the trumpet continuously for 25 hours, 30 minutes, and 36 seconds, setting a new world record. The marathon session took place on May 9, 2025, in Lagos, Nigeria, but the official confirmation only came recently after Guinness completed its standard verification process.

Taking to his social media to share the exciting news, Olusanya wrote:

“OFFICIAL! I’m honoured to announce that I’ve set the FIRST-EVER Guinness World Record for the Longest Marathon Playing the Trumpet! A dream we collectively fought for.
Thank you, Nigeria! We made history together. ”

According to Guinness World Records, Joshua attempted the feat not only to test his physical and musical endurance but also to promote music education, celebrate instrumental musicians, and inspire young talents globally to pursue their dreams with passion and consistency.

Now celebrated as the “Trumpet Influencer”, Joshua has joined an elite group of performers whose dedication to their craft has earned them a place in history. Guinness has granted him access to their Record Holder Zone, where he can order his official certificate and record-holder merchandise and share his story with the world.

This historic accomplishment is a proud moment not only for Joshua Olusanya but for Nigeria’s entire music and creative arts community.
