Rozaly is an upcoming sonic practitioner & researcher, curator, and DJ from Curaçao. His practice aims to break the boundaries and stigmas surrounding Caribbean musical expressions by researching and expanding on his own identity search.
Tinted by a profound trademark of absurdism, Rozaly searches for nuanced collective memories and lost Caribbean heritage as opposed to dominant Western dance music. He has played shows at
Dekmantel’s Festival, Nyege Nyege, De School, and is a Garage Noord regular.
Besides assiduously performing as a DJ, Rozaly is also responsible for the curation and sound design of multiple art, music, and fashion expressions. Collaborations with Museum Boijmans van Beuningen and Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. He has worked for brands like Marshall, Patta, Warp, and BOTTER, among others, and has collaborated with artists like Kevin Osepa and Gilleam Trapenberg. Rozaly’s goal is to overall showcase an honest sonic contextual experience of the Caribbean.
