About the Artist

J RoeShawn is an instrumentalist recording musician with a contemporary flare that likens itself to such artists as Yanni, Enya, and Sarah Brightman. His love for molding sounds and creating fusion style, mood-altering compositions have led to works that lend themselves well as soundtracks for movies, television and video games. Growing up in a music-oriented family, he began learning to play the piano at the early age of 14 and then extending to writing and composing by 16. He experimented with tones, melodies, and rhythms through various styles from dance with orchestral to simple piano/synthesizer accompaniment. In college he was introduced to a variety of instruments from all over the globe from the Asian sounding woodwind instruments to the Chinese zither and Caribbean steel drums which would be contributing factors to the “J RoeShawn” signature sound which is considered a blend of World, New Age and Spiritual. In 2013 he released his first album “Voyage” and just a few months later he released his first holiday album, “Joy to a Future Generation”. In 2014 he released “To Find Oneself” which in April 2015 was awarded “Best Ambient/Instrumental Album” by Akademia Music. Two singles from that album, ‘Strolling Along The Merry Way’ and ‘Nice To Meet You’, began streaming online and through radio around the globe. In the summer of 2015 he released the EP “Summer Escapades”. The following year in 2016 Akademia Music honored him with his second award, best Ambient/Instrumental Album for “Voyage”. In March 2017 he released his next album “The Time Traveler” and the popular singles ‘Distant Worlds’ and ‘Sacred Emotions’ from that album would receive online radio chart awards and continue to be heard all over the world. In early 2019 he would compose his first soundtrack for the award-winning short film “Daughters of Legend”. Also in 2019 J Roeshawn received Akademia Music’s highest award, ‘The Akademia Executive Award’ for outstanding creativity, artistry and professional achievement in the field of music.
