Rupert met fantastic musician (9)

I believe the answer is:

trumpeter

'musician' is the definition.
(trumpeter is a kind of musician)

'rupert met fantastic' is the wordplay.
'fantastic' is an anagram indicator.
'rupert'+'met'='rupertmet'
'rupertmet' anagrammed gives 'TRUMPETER'.

(Other definitions for trumpeter that I've seen before include "Musician" , "loud-voiced bird" , "Brass player" , "Elephant perhaps" , "Jumbo?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
