Rock & Roll never dies when there are still people in the world who are willing to live by it. Rebels without a cause but with a purpose. The Cruz is one of those old souls. This singer, songwriter, composer, pianist, hammond player & connoisseur of rock & roll, makes sure he’s a fresh unique force in the wonderful world of music. He is larger than life and always over the top as well in his writing as in his live show performances. You can put him in front of an angry punk mob or in a classy brothel with a swinging big band, he finds his place on the stage and seduces the audience with his energetic stage presence and his big vocal range & colour. Especially with his old-school, blood brothers, rock band ''The Cruz & The Dukes of Harlem'' The Cruz is an authentic songwriter who can easily change between grotesque, Wagnerian opera’s and small sweeter than candy tunes about love, going out tonight or rebellious teenage suburban fantasies. Always with the hints of feeling nostalgic and not wanting to grow up. Even as a composer he can create catchy broadway show tunes as fast as he can compose baroque piano concerto’s. Combine that with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of popular music and a devotion to preserving the centrality of the arts, especially the endangered species of Rock in the twenty-first century and you got The Cruz his religion. There is no other way.
