When he was just 11 years old, Rodriguez honed his jazz chops at Smalls Jazz Club, wowing audiences with his rendition of his favorite Ellington tune, "Take the A Train." Fast forward to 2018, when he left Juilliard to go on tour with A$AP Rocky.
Now in 2022, Rodriguez is on the cusp of a brilliant release that weaves together his life and influences—from Monk, Coltrane, Solange, James Blake, Sampha, and more.
