Bobby Oroza

After years of grinding as a sideman in the Finnish music scene, Bobby Oroza has stepped up to make his voiceheard. Always with an air of crude romanticism, Bobby pushes towards an expression transcending the borders ofsoul and rock balladry. His dark and intimate debut single ”This Love” didn’t take long to reach the ears and hearts ofa worldwide soul music community and is already a proper classic amongst the lowrider and soul collector scenes.Bobby was born in Helsinki, Finland into a family of musicians and artists. During frequent family parties Bobby´sBolivian grandfather would pick up a guitar and sing Latin canciones and Cuban classics. Bobby´s mother is a singerand his father a gypsy-style jazz guitarist. All his siblings work in show business and music. As a kid, Bobby waslucky to grow up surrounded by his parents’ record collection which included early jazz and blues, Motown hits,gospel ensembles, and doo-wop groups like The Drifters and The Clovers. The Soul records were balanced out byBrazilian ones, African ones, his mother’s collection of North and South American folk songs, and Nuyorican Salsaalbums. All of these influences show up in Bobby’s music.Bobby started working professionally as a musician in his early teens. His main instruments are guitar andpercussion. Before finishing high school Bobby decided he needed to experience the rhythmic source that hadinspired him the most, and travelled to Santiago, Cuba. There he studied percussion and singing intensively formonths. Since his return he’s been producing, recording and performing music to make a living for his family.Teaming up with the Timmion Records house band Cold Diamond & Mink, led by Jukka Sarapää, Sami Kantelinen,and guitarist/composer Seppo Salmi, he has a tight quartet of musicians to support his vision. With his instant classic,debut album “This Love” Oroza has shared his strange and unique shade of Soul with the world, creating a cult-likefollowing for his sound from Finland to sunny Southern California and beyond.
