BIO
"I feel blessed to have experienced so much music in my life with such a diverse group of people that have taught me so much. I hope this never changes."
This statement sums up the music and winding musical career of Rob Holzer which has led him to the 2007 release of "The Heart of our Lives", Rob's second solo album.
Rob is a singer/songwriter born and bred in New York. He plays piano and guitar and can play and sing just about any song you can throw his way. He has fronted and played in numerous bands over the course of his professional career. His original music has been featured in a number of films and commercial projects.
After college and a stint living in Florence, Italy he moved to Honolulu, Hawaii and throughout five years in "paradise", Rob played and toured Hawaii with such critically acclaimed artists as Grammy award-winning musician John Cruz, Ka'au Crater Boys, Willy K, Fiji, Rocky Brown, Bob Jones, and Scott Williams, among many others.
Rob moved back to New York City in the late '90's and formed RUDY - a sprawling 10-piece R&B original R&B/funk band that played extensively, with regular engagements at the city's best spots. It featured Rob's original music and some of NYC's best performers. After Rudy, he turned his attention to his songwriting and a paired down rock sound closer to his roots. He also focused on his growing successful integrated advertising and design agency, Syrup (www.syrupnyc.com) which he founded with partner Jakob Daschek in 1998. Music and design are Rob's Yin and Yang and as he continues his dual life, he's always aware that time is precious in the heart of our lives.
May 1st, International Workers' Day, commemorates the historic struggle of working people throughout the world, and is recognized in every country except the United States, Canada and South Africa. This despite the fact that the holiday began in the 1880's in the United States, with the fight for an eight-hour work day.
In honor of this historic day, I'm making this special wish for you: May your work be fruitful and your harvest bountiful!
