After years of grinding as a sideman in the Finnish music scene, Bobby Oroza has stepped up to make his voice heard. Born in Helsinki, Finland into a family of musicians and artists Bobby started his journey young. During frequent family parties Bobby´s Bolivian grandfather would pick up a guitar and sing Latin canciones and Cuban classics. His mother is a singer, his father a gypsy-style jazz guitarist, and all his siblings work in show business and music. Bobby was lucky to grow up surrounded by the arts and 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 by Brazilian ones, African ones, Nuyorican Salsa albums, and his mother’s collection of North and South American folk songs. 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 and percussion. Before finishing high school Bobby decided he needed to experience the rhythmic source that had inspired him the most, and travelled to Santiago, Cuba. There he studied percussion and singing intensively for months. 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 their debut album coming in 2018, the world is about bear witness to a strange and unique shade of Soul, one only possible through this group of people. One we are sure you will love.
