Sounds Like: Born in Detroit, Michigan, Stuart Rogoff has been playing piano since the age of 4 - classically trained - with a special affection for jazz, R&B, lounge, and pop. For more than a decade, Southern California has been home and the beautiful beachside surroundings and culture - along with life, friends, love, and relationships - have inspired new musical creations. "Though my early training was classical, I have enjoyed pop and R&B influences - and for many years entertained with my band at private events and celebrations."
TWO ANTHEMS OF HOPE...
“A little understanding is the answer" is an anthem for diversity, understanding, peace, and understanding. In our world of differences, it is a "mosaic" (versus "melting pot") affect that offers such vibrant textures of life that makes our world truly special. We should embrace the differences .. and celebrate them! It might be racial, or religious, or sexual orientation, cultural, etc. Those who would rather put the focus on hatred and bigotry in the spirit of wanting everyone to be as they are, are out of place and step. 'A little understanding is the answer' is a song and anthem that is uplifting and is available to non profits, groups, choirs, etc. and for performances that will touch our community and world.
"In a child's eyes" ... so many children are facing life threatening diseases and other hardships and challenges. This song/anthem of hope has been used to illustrate this to supporters of various causes to help children. If you are with a non profit and/or cause that aims to help children, if you have a special gala or telethon, please feel free to contact me about use of this powerful song.
PLUS TWO SPECIAL FEATURED FAVORITES...
"It's our turn at last" ... Do you believe in fate? Timing? It was meant to be? This song is for lovers, friends, partners ... when the pieces are all 'fitting together!' ... perfect for film, stage, television productions.
"Follow Your Heart" ... a song of dreams, possibilities, hopes, and friendship. Performed here by Detroit artist, Marla Jackson, FOLLOW YOUR HEART is a balad of deep emotion that stirs the soul.
ALSO AVAILABLE for film soundtracks/television/daytime drama, theme songs, stage productions, recording artists:. "Two Little Words", "These are the times", "True Friends", "Crossroads of my life", "Everytime your arms are around me", "It's our turn at last", "For the first time in my life".
You may also have noticed that I have included more than one version/arrangement of some songs ... some featuring me on vocals and some featuring the very talented Marla Jackson - to afford you the opportunity to hear the song with a male or female voice and also begin thinking about what arrangement and application you might like to make with your own recording! (These include: "For the first time in my life" and "Follow your Heart".)
