General: Hailing from the North East of England singer songwriter ROJOR has brought comparisons ranging from The Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout and Prince to Aimee Mann and John Cale. ROJOR has been described in the press as “the undiscovered genius” and his songs as “sexy”, “extensively moody” and “ethereal”, his lyrics are “intelligent and inspiring”. His music is beautifully arranged and he is at home in many musical fields. His song writing not only deals with “the vagaries of love and inner frustration” but his social agenda is evident in songs like the haunting ‘Primitive’ and the soulful ‘Echoes of the Earth”. ROJOR’s songs mix many musical influences and the sexy huskiness to his voice keeps the listener entranced.

Live: From a full band to a one-man acoustic show this is an accomplished live artist having played live with the likes of Primal Scream and Martin Stephenson. ROJOR has also headlined the ‘FTWL Stage’ at BBC Music Live and is no stranger to the big audience, but he is also equally at home in more intimate live surroundings where the true essence of his beautiful songs is often best captured.


In 2009 ROJOR signed with US Media giants ‘The Orchard’ and is now available worldwide through I-TUNES, Napster, HMV, Amazon, Spotify and many more commercial outlets
