Joe Rozum. 2021
Seamless fusion of Smooth Jazz and Pop — this is what best reveals Joe Rozum as an artist and composer. His signature sound may be soothing piano ballads, but Rozum is well known for violin duets and performances with a full band. His music has inflections of cool blues, soundtrack themes, gospel, and a hint of classical, which come from many musical influences ranging all over the map … Billy Joel, Elton John, David Foster, Diane Warren, Yanni, Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Jim Brickman, Quincy Jones, Phil Vassar, Yolanda Adams, Oleta Adams Andre Crouch, Michael Jackson, James Taylor, Carole King, Earth, Wind and Fire, Gino Vanelli, Jamie Cullum, Lionel Ritchie, John Williams, Hans Zimmer & David Arnold and of course the great music of Elvis and the Beatles.
The California-based Rozum also performs live. Since 2004, he has done six near sell-out concerts with his band of talented musicians at the Smothers Theatre on the stunning, ocean-view campus at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. This 500-seat theatre has been the perfect venue for Rozum to celebrate the release of his latest music projects. He has also been involved in Music Ministry, playing with amazing musicians in several churches, as well as performing for annual Award Shows, private parties and solo unplugged performances at private home concerts.
Rozum loves both performing solo to the Private Home Concert audience…..and on stage with his amazing band to the larger audience. “I love making the piano talk and come to life. My motto is ‘Love what you do, Do what you Love’… I love that message and apply that to the piano when I perform, write a new song or take on a new project!”
