About Me |

| Jean-Jacques Rojer was born in Groningen, Holland. Both his parents being Antillean, the family soon after moved to the Caribbean island of Curacao where he received his upbringing and education. Jean-Jacques is the son of Antillean pianist and composer Robert Rojer and great grandchild of composer Jacobo Palm, a member of one of the oldest musical families on Curacao.
From a very early age he developed an interest in music and started taking lessons with various guitar teachers. In his late teens, after having played mostly rock music, he started studying jazz and Caribbean music which are still the main musical genres he explores today. After finishing his electrical engineering studies at the University of the Netherlands Antilles he attended the Royal Conservatory in the Hague, Holland, graduating cum laude in 2003. Besides the guitar he has also studied classical piano with his father and Cuban tres guitar with Israel Gonzalez, former member of Septeto Nacional Ignacio Pineiro. In Holland he studied jazz with a.o. Eef Albers and Frans Elsen. He has had the privilege of playing with Paquito D' Rivera, Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln center jazz orchestra, Phillip Harper, Oscar Stagnaro, Izaline Callister, Michael Kanan, Pernell Saturnino, Gerardo Rosales, Randal Corsen, Fra Fra sound. In March 2007 Jean-Jacques performed at Carnegie Hall in NYC with Paquito D'Rivera as part of a young artists concert and workshop organized by the Weill instute at Carnegie Hall.
