'''Rudy Trouvé''' (born 28 January 1967) is a Belgian musician.

In the early nineties, he founded the Heavenhotel record label and released dozens of records since. Between 1993 and 1995 he was part of [[Deus (band)|Deus]], quitting the band in favour of focusing on his own solo career, exploring obscure music groups and temporary [[collaboration]]s.

Since 1995, he scored most success with Kiss My Jazz and [[Dead Man Ray]], and recorded a split album with [[Lou Barlow]] on the [[Sub Rosa]] label.

Rudy Trouvé is regarded highly as an improvisor; in jam sessions and experimental concerts he has shared the stage with [[Mauro Pawlowski]], Zeitkratzer Ensemble (Germany), [[Marc Ribot]] (US), [[Pierre Bastien]], Pierre Berthet, members of [[DAAU]], [[Zita Swoon]], among others.

As a former student at St-Lucas in [[Ghent]], Rudy Trouvé is also famous for his artwork: figurative paintings and blow-ups which can be found on the record sleeves of most of his self-produced records and the bands he performed with. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deadbeattown.com/art/artindex.htm|title=Rudy trouvé artwork|website=www.deadbeattown.com}}</ref> One of them was ''[[Worst Case Scenario (album)|Worst Case Scenario]]'' by dEUS. <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hotellounge.be/discography/albums/worst-case-scenario/|title = Worst Case Scenario}}</ref>
