Who is Stochelo Rosenberg?
Born on February 19, 1968, in Helmond, the Netherlands, Stochelo was raised in a Sinti (Romani) family that held a deep respect for music. The Sinti community, rich in musical traditions, provided the ideal backdrop for nurturing his talent. The early introduction to music led him to adopt the family tradition of playing gypsy jazz, a genre that has roots in the Romani community, and he quickly showed a prodigious talent.
Stochelo’s musical journey began when he was a child. Immersed in the rich musical culture of his family and community, he learned to play guitar at a very young age. Over the years, he honed his skills and developed a unique style that combined traditional gypsy jazz elements with a modern sensibility.
