Born in Hartford CT and growing up mainly in Rockville, Troy Joseph Curtis's music reflects a mixture of both urban and rural communities. From his self taught country-blues guitar style and soulful jazz vocals, to the urban beats he uses, Troy's music is a powerful cocktail of the makeshift and the eternal. Part African-American, French- Canadian, Cherokee and legend has it - Scottish, this artist's patchwork past and wayward ways pour through his lyrics.
