In 2015 Heigo became the first Estonian musician to be accepted into the Sponsorship Program of the Orpheum Foundation for the Advancement of Young Soloists. The same year, he was chosen to be principal percussionist for the World Percussion Group with whom he toured the U.S. for five weeks in 2016. In January of 2017, Heigo made his debut as a soloist at the world-famous Carnegie Hall in New York. Since 2016, Heigo has been an official artist-endorser of Malletech instruments and Sabian cymbals.

Heigo Rosin started studying music at the Põltsamaa Music School at the age of four with piano classes. In 2004, Heigo’s passion for percussion instruments led him to Raivo Rebane’s percussion class at the Heino Eller Tartu Music School. In 2013, he received his bachelor’s and master’s degree (cum laude) from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (in Rein Roos’s percussion class). And in 2014, he earned his second bachelor’s and master’s degree with a distinction from Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp and in Prof. Carlo Willems’ and Prof. Koen Wilmaers’ percussion classes. In 2016, he earned a soloist diploma from the Royal Academy of Music Aarhus/Aalborg in Prof. Henrik Knarborg Larsen’s percussion class.
