If you have not heard the name Rozzi Crane at the moment, do not worry, you will. The 21- year-old musician has a sound fusing soul and currently can be heard on tour with Adam Levine and Maroon 5 . Crane was the first signed to the label of Levine, 222 Records artist, so the future USC student is shining.
SheKnows got the chance to sit down with crane hours before she took the stage for the first time at the Staples Center, a stone's throw from the USC campus, where she is a student at the Thornton School of Music. How can a college student going to sing in small bars at a college arena with about 20,000 seats? The young musician gave us the scoop.
Crane revealed, “Jacques Brautbar, which is in Phantom Planet, was sitting in one of my composition classes at USC He liked my writing, so we started writing together . . .”
It was that fateful meeting at the school, which eventually led to his work being heard by the manager of Maroon 5, who passed along word of the talents of the crane with the judge voice.
"Eventually, Adam heard a YouTube video or something. I'm pretty sure I did a little stalking YouTube and then wanted to make a tag. 's definitely through those guys that all this happened," Crane said.
Out of the orientation of his career Levine, YouTube’s audience continues to support the work of the musician notable cover songs with a touch Rozzi. Their sound is quite mature for someone so young, but with personal influences as "Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse ... Outkast, Tribe Called Quest, "you can definitely see where his inspiration came from. Fans will also notice a little influenced by Maroon 5 on their new EP, too.
She describes her sound fusion for his new EP. “One thing I 'm so happy [is that] the EP sounds like something new, which is exactly what I wanted.’ve Brought all my soul, hip hop influences ... 90 , R & B stuff. And then Adam has this distinct sound that everyone knows and loves and it is this combination that people definitely listen. "
The Maroon 5 lead singer has not only guided his composition, he invited her to tour with the band on their tour sold out. In addition to a performance Staples Center that night, Crane recently hit New York City Madison Square Garden. That's a pretty memorable night for an artist up- and-coming.
She told us: "Madison Square Garden was easily one of the most surreal nights of my life I'm along this walk, which only took me with them it’s kind of this truly magical couple of months for me to reach . . . be a part of something that worked so hard to build . "
She admits that singing part of Christina Aguilera’s hit "Moves Like Jagger " from the band is " very intimidating " but Crane is responsible for this huge increase career with aplomb.
Last summer, Crane had the opportunity to work on a song for the Hunger Games soundtrack with Levine. It was a heady experience for her because the song was written by Oscar- winning composer Glen Hansard and produced by the legendary T Bone Burnett.
Crane did not flinch when working with such luminaries of the music industry. In fact, it was Burnett who really encouraged him in the study. "I think part of its brilliance is what makes you feel good. Makes you feel like you're killing him."
And "killing “"s exactly what I did in the movie song, "Come Away to the Water".
In addition to the soundtrack, the tour and his upcoming EP, look to Crane hit the road in support of his music later this year. She is excited to share their music with all the fans that have joined her from the beginning.
