This young pop singer/songwriter from California has the music world buzzing in the Lone Star State of Texas. In January 2005, he was featured in D Magazine, coverage previously only afforded Grammy winners Norah Jones and LeAnn Rimes. His style has quickly gained notoriety as simultaneously evocative of Elvis’ charisma and rockabilly roots, of McCartney’s boyish charm, melodic sensibility and Beatles’ harmonies, and the honest storytelling of Cash. As industry insiders from music writers to A & R reps have quickly discovered, Rollins is poised to bring back to music what matters most...a simple song.
