Julius Rodriguez defies context. You might find him in a packed jazz haunt behind the piano with energy surging from his fingers. You could scroll social media and catch him alternating between drums, bass, and guitar at the speed of a jump cut. You might step onto festival grounds and see him on stage jamming like his life depends on it. No matter where, the New York-born and Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer electrifies any stage—transcending perceived boundaries between genres and styles, redefining music to mirror his own fluid creative inclinations, and delivering a sound that's his alone.
