Joel Del Rosario

Producer/Guitarist Joel Del Rosario began his musical journey to today, by playing viola for San Francisco's School of The Arts initially focusing on Classical Music. However, early on, also being heavily influenced by the sounds of jazz guitar greats like George Benson, Joe Pass, and Stanley Jordan (whose mentor Elroy Jones later became Joel's mentor), led Joel to the Guitar. Soon Joel was quickly drawn into the smooth jazz scene.

Through recording as well as concert situations, his popularity (coupled with his strong spiritual ties), has led him to fuse faith and smooth jazz together, creating music uplifting and relaxing to the soul. JDR's music style runs through the gamut of R&B, Latin, Funk, Soul, Smooth Jazz, to Spiritually uplifting instrumentals, that could very easily grace the airwaves of Smooth Jazz Stations everywhere all across the US.
