Born in Pula, Miron Hauser earned a degree in jazz-trombone from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in 2011 in the class of Ed Neumeister, followed by an MA from the Giuseppe Tartini Conservatory in Trieste in 2015. 

During his studies in Graz, he attended seminars and workshops all over Europe held by leading jazz musicians and pedagogues, including Bob Brookmeyer, Nils Wogram, Rick Margitza, Bart van Lier, Eric van Lier, Hein Van de Geyn, Glenn Ferris, Jerry Bergonzi, Phil Abraham, John Thomas, Miguel Zenón and many others.

Mr. Hauser first came into contact with jazz long before his formal education, as a member of the Croatian Music Youth Jazz Orchestra (between 2004 and 2012), collaborating with renowned musicians from the international jazz scene, such as Deborah Carter, Juan Garcia-Herreros, Andreas Haderer, Donny McCaslin, Kokan Dimusevski, Karolina Strassmayer, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Sherisse Rogers, Renée Manning, Cubismo, Joseph Bowie, Pete McGuinness, John Thomas, Mark Feldman, John Hollenbeck, Refuge Trio, Dave Liebman, Luis Bonilla, Dena DeRose, Lasse Lindgren, Peter Erskine, Jim McNeely, Deborah Brown, Jonas Knutsson, Michael Philip Mossman, Don Menza, Man Sound, Miljenko Prohaska, Yellowjackets, Randy Brecker, Peter Herbolzheimer, Kristina Oberžan, Gustavo Bergalli, Victor Villena, Bob Mintzer and others.

Since 2011, he has been a permanent member of the Croatian Radiotelevision Jazz Orchestra and had the opportunity to play with eminent international jazz musicians. As a member of the Association of Jazz Musicians of Istria, he is one of the founders and initiators of the Jazzistra Orchestra. As a result of his interest in Latin-style music, Mr. Hauser is a member of the Slovene-Cuban band Los Señores, occasional guest of the Croatian Latin-music band Cubismo, and he also played with the Cuban salsa group Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor. Between 2011 and 2016, he was a permanent member of the pop group Jinx. In addition to Jinx, he also collaborated with a number of Croatian pop musicians, including Oliver Dragojević, Nina Badrić, Natali Dizdar and Gibonni. From the ensemble’s establishment until 2019, he was a member of the jazz sextet B's Funstallation as a tenor trombonist, composer and arranger. In 2015, the band recorded their first album with original compositions by the band members, earning a nomination for the Croatian discography Porin  Award in the jazz album category. Mr. Hauser is a three-time winner of the Croatian Music Union’s Status Award for the best jazz trombonist (in 2015, 2018 and 2019).

In 2016, as part of the HRT Jazz Orchestra concert season, Mr. Hauser hosted his own original-music evening titled Tu fragancia, presenting himself to the public as a composer, conductor and trombonist. The same program was subsequently performed with the RTV Slovenia Big Band in Ljubljana and Pula, and once more in Zagreb with the HRT Jazz Orchestra, then in Zadar and Koprivnica, and at the RadiRo International Festival of Radio Orchestras in Bucharest in 2018. Since 2018, he has been a permanent member of the FiloSofia salsa band as a trombonist, arranger, composer and singer.

Since the 2019/2020 season, he is the Artistic Director of the HRT Jazz Orchestra.
