Raw vocals with nothing held back Rozlyn delivers a clear sense of her innermost thoughts. The effortless power of her voice combined with honest and unapologetic lyrical content leave listeners feeling a genuine emotional connection.
Rozlyn Menachof is a young, emerging artist from Rochester, NY. She was always drawn to music from an early age and her parents fostered this passion by exposing her to many outlets for live music performance. She quickly became involved with piano and dance lessons by the age of 4, as she grew up she became involved with voice lessons, musical theatre, and songwriting as well. By the age of 15 she was taking 2 weekly vocal lessons with Susanna Adams and Vicky Mejia Yepes, and involved in the Rochester Contemporary School of Music "I'm in the Band" Program. There she began to explore songwriting and music directing.
Back in Rochester, after studying vocal performance, songwriting and music business at Berklee College of Music, she cultivates a timeless soul feel that blends R&B, Jazz, Pop and Rock. Her biggest influences include Amy Winehouse, Etta James, Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, Erykah Badu, Moonchild, H.E.R., Grace Potter, Carole King, Joss Stone, and Pj Morton.
