Episode 5: Rozzi

02/08/23 • 46 min

Rozzi’s vibe is infectious. With her new album, Berry (Deluxe), Rozzi knows who she is and what she wants from the music industry. In this interview, she tells me about her early days on tour with Adam Levine and Maroon 5, she sings some Aretha Franklin hits for me, and we talk about one of her most popular songs, “The Best Friend Song”, and how another artist maybe stole her thunder. I’m so lucky to call this amazing artist my friend. Please welcome Rozzi to the Front Row.

Rozzi is an American neo-soul singer/songwriter who burst on the music scene after being discovered and signed by Maroon 5 frontman, Adam Levine. Soon after she was touring the country with Maroon 5 and honing her craft on-stage. In 2018, Rozzi released her debut album, “Bad Together” and her EPs “Hymn for Tomorrow” and “Berry” in 2021 and 2022. Her music has been featured on Apple’s “The Morning Show” and will soon be a part of a new Netflix film starring Kevin Hart. Berry (Deluxe) is out now.

I love the energy that Anthony brings to this interview. We talk about his days as a backup singer for Michael Jackson, his critically acclaimed show with Justin Vivian Bond, and he even sings a bit of the Gershwin brothers’ “The Man I Love”. Not only am I a huge fan of Anthony, but he gives a great interview, here in the Front Row.

He has performed on Broadway, done backup for Michael Jackson, and performed alongside Luciano Pavarotti. Anthony is a graduate of Princeton, where he returns regularly to teach, as well as the Manhattan School of Music. He is a champion of new works and has collaborated with countless artists, most recently on the show “Only an Octave Apart” with NYC cabaret legend Justin Vivian Bond.

Episode 6: Laura Brown

Laura Brown is the former editor in chief of InStyle magazine as well as the Features/Special Projects and executive director of Harper's Bazaar magazine. She has been responsible for award winning covers for both magazines as well as the popular InStyle podcast, “Ladies First with Laura Brown”. She has also appeared as a featured judge on Bravo’s hit series, “The Fashion Show”.

I love Laura’s honesty in this interview. She’s really not sugar coating her thoughts and opinions on fashion. We talk about InStyle Magazine going digital, her favorite covers, including the award winning Rihanna cover, and what she’s got up her sleeve since her departure from print fashion magazines. Laura explores her options as a true fashion entrepreneur, here in the Front Row.
