On his 2022 debut, Let Sound Tell All, Julius Rodriguez stirs a cauldron of gospel, jazz, classical, R&B, hip-hop, experimentation, production, and technical wizardry to create a stunning album that eschews classification, but commands attention. When you hear Julius Rodriguez play "the music" (as he calls it) it's a modern sound, as fluent in history as it is aware of it's contemporary context. His music dares to imagine a future of new standards and sonic excitement.
