Roman Roth

Born in Rheinfelden Switzerland, Roman started playing the violin at the age of five, the drums when he was nine. He studied music at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Zurich where he graduated "Magna Cum Laude". Around that time, he started playing with acts like Eve Gallagher (UK), Susan Orus (CH), Natacha (CH) and Myron (CH), to name a few. After a few years of teaching at public schools, Roman founded his own music school where he was teaching from 2001-2012. In 2010, he met (producer) Andy Wright. Andy encouraged him to move to London, which Roman did in February 2011. He started recording and touring with (singer) Peter Grant and by the end of 2011/early 2012 he recorded the "American Soul" album with Mick Hucknall, which they toured in 2013. In 2014, Roman was invited to record drums and percussion for the new Simply Red album "Big Love" and in October 2015, he started touring around the world with them.
