ROY JAGGA'S JOURNEY THROUGH MUSIC BEGAN AT THE AGE OF SIX, WHERE HE FIRST STARTED PLAYING THE DRUMS IN THE VIBRANT ATMOSPHERE OF HIS CHURCH IN QUEENS, NEW YORK. FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, ROY IMMERSED HIMSELF IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC, PARTICIPATING IN CONCERT BANDS, MARCHING BANDS, AND JAZZ ENSEMBLES. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT THE BANDS WERE DIRECTED BY FRANCIS STEVEN ABEL, A RENOWNED FUNK KEYBOARD PLAYER KNOWN FOR HIS WORK WITH BANDS LIKE "BOBBY BOYD CONGRESS," "THE CROW," AND "LAFAYETTE AFRO ROCK BAND." UNDER ABEL'S GUIDANCE, ROY LEARNED NOT ONLY THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF MUSIC BUT ALSO THE ART OF CONTROLLING ENERGY WHILE PLAYING AND EXPRESSING INDIVIDUALITY THROUGH IMPROVISATION. THROUGH COUNTLESS HOURS OF REHEARSAL AND PRACTICE, ROY DEVELOPED A METICULOUS EAR FOR MUSIC.

ROY JAGGAS MUSICAL INFLUENCES EXTEND BEYOND HIS NEW YORK ROOTS, AS HE SPENT FORMATIVE YEARS SPLIT BETWEEN LONG ISLAND, THE METROPOLIS NEW YORK AND THE CULTURALLY RICH ISLAND OF JAMAICA, WEST INDIES. THIS UNIQUE BLEND OF EXPERIENCES ALLOWED ROY TO FUSE CULTURAL TOUCH POINTS SEAMLESSLY, CREATING A SONIC LANGUAGE THAT RESONATES WITH DEPTH AND AUTHENTICITY.

IN 2018, AFTER WORKING 10 YEARS IN THE LUXURY FASHION INDUSTRY, WITH HIS LAST TENURE AT BALENCIAGA, ROY EMBARKED ON A NEW CHAPTER IN HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY. HE DELVED INTO THE WORLD OF MUSIC PRODUCTION AND ARRANGEMENT, IMMERSING HIMSELF IN DAWS LIKE LOGIC AND PROTOOLS. ACROSS CITIES LIKE NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES, MIAMI, AND JAMAICA, ROY EXPERIMENTED WITH CREATING DEMOS, EXPLORING NEW SOUNDS, AND REFINING HIS CRAFT. THE CULMINATION OF ROY JAGGA ARTISTIC EVOLUTION CAME TO FRUITION IN 2021 WITH THE RELEASE OF HIS PROJECT TITLED "RED DIRT." THIS DEBUT SHOWCASED JAGGA’S UNIQUE BLEND OF INFLUENCES, CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY WITH RAW AUTHENTICITY AND INFECTIOUS ENERGY. BUILDING UPON THE SUCCESS OF "RED DIRT," HE RETURNS IN 2024 WITH HIS LATEST OFFERING TITLED "I SHALL RETURN." THIS NEW PROJECT PROMISES TO PUSH BOUNDARIES, CHALLENGE NORMS, AND FURTHER ESTABLISH ROY JAGGA AS A SONIC VISIONARY AT THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATION IN THE MUSIC AND FILM INDUSTRY.

WITH DRUMS, PHRASES, AND MELODY, JAGGA BLENDS TOGETHER DIVERSE INFLUENCES INTO A TAPESTRY OF SOUND THAT IS UNIQUELY HIS OWN. AS HE NAVIGATES THE EVER-EVOLVING LANDSCAPE OF SONICS, JAGGA REMAINS COMMITTED TO PUSHING BOUNDARIES, INSPIRING LISTENERS, AND SHAPING THE FUTURE OF MUSIC FOR GENERATIONS.
