Artist Portrait

Roy Young

JM
R&B/Soul and Reggae

Born in Jamaica, Roy Young's love for soul music started at an early age. He moved to England at the age of 13 where he was introduced to the music of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Joe Tex and Solomon Burke. During the great Northern Soul movement of the late 60's and early 70's, Roy was introduced to his greatest influence Sam Cooke. Roy was first brought to Israel in 1969 and continued to go back and forth during tours, performing all over Europe, Russia and the Middle East. On one trip back to Israel he met his current wife Orly and decided to move there. With more than 25 years between recording contracts, he continues to perform at jazz festivals and tours around the world.
