Rozzi Crane

On her debut EP for Adam Levine's 222 Records, Crane artfully skips between pop, R&B, alternative, and hip-hop, crafting a sassy, sexy, and soulful sound of her own. There's nobody quite like her…

The San Francisco-born, Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter immersed herself in music growing up, obsessing over influences as wide-ranging as Lauryn Hill and Outkast and Destiny’s Child and Amy Winehouse. Things got very serious when she entered the University of Southern California's Popular Music School though. Barely finished with her first year, she landed gigs as a background vocalist for The Eagles' Don Henley and Brazilian legend Sergio Mendes, touring the United States, Europe, and Japan. At the same time, she performed constantly on her own, opening for the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Kreayshawn, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, Anthony Hamilton, Theophilus London, and more.

In 2013, Crane hit the road as a featured performer on Maroon 5's World Tour, sharing the stage with the group for two songs in prestigious venues such as Madison Square Garden. She also dueted with the band on "Come Away To the Water, their contribution to The Hunger Games soundtrack. 

Ultimately, Crane has even more to share with everyone who hears her music. "I want people to feel empowered and inspired," she concludes. "I'm doing so many different things musically. That's who I am. I'd love for everyone to feel like they can be themselves. My favorite artists are always honest. I'm trying to be as true as I can be."
