DezroK

DezroK discovered the piano at the age of seven, while on a retreat with his mother at the Catskill Mountains Inn of the Spirits. One evening, DezroK sat at the piano located in the hotel's lounge and began to play, surprising the guests at the Inn with an impromptu recital when he instantly played a tune by ear. At age 14, DezroK plugged in his first keyboard, a Korg Poly 800, and then later models of synthesizer; the instrument which he continues to use to this day. Over the years, with the help of friends and family, DezroK built a studio in his own bedroom. Unexpectedly, DezroK found himself amidst a huge collection of keyboards and recording equipment to hone his skills, almost never leaving his studio. As a self-taught keyboardist, DezroK naturally began to write, produce and arrange his own music. DezroK produced his first single in 1989 with HeartBrake "Never Stop Loving You" for We B Records, in collaboration with Tony Camillo. He later worked with Sandy Lindzer who had written and produced Native New Yorker and Cherchez La Femme. In 1991, he met producer Steve Kourlas, for whom he wrote, arranged and produced "Love Will See Us Through" by Abby Lynn on Mic Mac Records. In the early 90s, DezroK ventured into a new style of music and writing, infusing spirituality into his compositions. During this formative period, he sought isolation while creating a unique sound by fusing New Age, Dance and Adult Contemporary styles into a signature of his own. This was one of DezroK's happiest and most creative periods and, unknowingly, DezroK was about to embark on a musical journey. By 1996, DezroK wrote and produced two full albums, with the goal of becoming a performing artist and securing an arrangement with a record label. Although his sound was unique and modern, the recording industry didn't take to the musical path that he had chosen. Strongly urging him to change his style towards commercial productions, DezroK decided to write commercial projects in order to satisfy industry demand. DezroK would never abandon his dream of becoming a New Age performer and, little did the industry realize, DezroK would be soon delivering commercial songs channeled through his own musical style. Having a passion for high energy dance music, DezroK began fusing dance beats with new age elements to create a unique, but commercial, sound. DezroK began working as a DJ in order to showcase his original dance tracks to club goers throughout New York City and, within a short period, DezroK's name began to circulate around the NY club scene. DezroK soon became resident DJ at the popular night club called "Life". Once in the NYC club milieu, DezroK began to meet many people who would be influential in his life. His solo-produced dance tracks quickly caught the ears of Industry greats such as Hex Hector, Mac Quayle, Hani, The Berman Brothers, Eddie Baez and Junior Vasquez. DezroK was finally surrounded by people that understood and appreciated his talents, and through these associations, he began collaborating on such tracks as "Cruel Summer" for Ace of Base, "One More Night" by Amber, "To The Moon and Back" by Savage Garden, "Mysterious Times" for Sash, "I Don't Want To" by Toni Braxton, and "Run To You" by Joi Cardwell. DezroK formed a special bond with two time Grammy nominated DJ/remixer, Hex Hector, which led to numerous collaborations such as "If You Can read My Mind" Stars on 54,"Wake Up" Dawn Tallman, "Give Me Tonight" Shannon, "This I Promise You" NSync, "Breathe" Faith Hill, and "Let me love you" Da Buzz, "Give Me Just One Night" 98degrees, "I Turn To You" Melanie C and "I drove all night" Celine Dion. Including the 98degrees and Mel C remixes in his Grammy submission reel, a Remixer of the Year Grammy was awarded to Hex Hector for the year 2000. A highlight of DezroK's professional career was having Aubrey's "Stand Still", which he co-produced with Hex Hector, reach number one on BillboardÕs Club Play chart, while also receiving the 2002 ASCAP Top Dance Song writing and publishing award for "Stand Still", which was co-written with vocalist Aubrey. DezroK has built a state of the art studio in his home on the outskirts of New York City to produce remixes under his own name, such as "Im Real" for Jennifer Lopez, "Glamour and pain" for Joe Jackson, "Drowning" for Backstreet Boys, "Approximately infinite universe" for Yoko Ono, "In your life" for La Bouche, "One Good Reason" by Nicole J McCloud, "Under My Skin" by Elleeven, "In My Dreams" by Tina Ann, "Oneday" by Suzanne Palmer and the No. 1 Billboard Club play smash, "I don't want u" for Widelife.While continuing to remix songs for other artists, DezroK always returns to the music that he enjoys most - his original compositions. When writing and producing his music, DezroK blends beautiful, ambient, new age sounds with high energy dance rhythms. He describes this sound as "ambient trance, futuristic, world, spiritual experience". This sound is best explored on his album DezroK - The Journey of Life, published by Carlin, blending musical styles which cross many worlds, ages, nationalities and spiritual beliefs. DezroK compositions are intentionally visual, and touch the listener through rhythmic energy. For DezroK , Its all about positive energy. And so, the journey continues ....
