Born in Madrid and raised between Barcelona and New York City, Julen Rodriguez is a drummer and composer who strives to fuse the musical traditions of the cultures he was raised by. Being half-Puerto Rican, and half-Basque, Julen’s music combines the intensity of New York’s Jazz Fusion scene with elements of Spain’s delicate flamenco-infused Jazz. Having played with Spain’s widely-acclaimed Proyecto Jazz for Kids for over 8 years and now solidifying himself as an in-demand drummer in New York’s Jazz and Underground Rock scenes, Julen has had the opportunity to collaborate with such prominent names as Martin Wind, Mike Rodriguez, Ryoma Takenaga, and famed Spanish pianist Marco Mezquida. Beyond that, he has had the opportunity to perform at such prestigious venues as Rotterdam’s North Sea Jazz Festival, Spain’s historic Rock N’ Blues Bar, and often can be found in New York City mainstays such as NuBlu and Mercury Lounge.
Currently studying at New York University, Julen can currently be found honing his craft under the tutelage of Ari Hoenig, Tony Moreno, and Michael Wolffe, among others, embarking on an international tour with Proyecto Jazz For Kids this upcoming summer, and soon will be celebrating the release of his upcoming singles, ‘I Don’t Care At All’, and ‘Why Not?’ slated for July 13th and August 28th, off of his upcoming debut album ‘Nomad’.
