About this user

New York based Guitarist, Songwriter and Singer Royce Lopez began playing the guitar at the age of 7, performing mainly rock, pop and mainstream music. During his early and mid teenage years, he studied Jazz guitar and soon began transcribing musical compositions by ear, most notably by Pat Martino, Wes Montgomery and Stanley Clarke. At that time, Royce also quickly mastered the music of rock legends Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and other top Billboard hits of the day. However, it wasn't until his late teenage years that he began studying the classical repertoire of the Spanish Guitar, after hearing a recording of Andres Segovia.

Royce's musical path led him to study the classical masterpieces in college and he graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Classical Guitar Performance from Hofstra University. He was then accepted to study guitar at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music where he later graduated Cum Laude with a Masters Degree in classical guitar performance. There he studied and performed the compositions of classical music luminaries J.S Bach, W.A Mozart and many others, in addition to taking composition lessons and was hand chosen to perform in master classes for renowned classical artists including Grammy Award winners. After receiving his Masters degree, he went on to perform classical guitar recitals in artistic venues all over America. Royce has also done Doctoral work in classical guitar performance at Stony Brook University, with his dissertation being how the human brain perceives sound on the auditory system, entitled "The Cocktail Party Effect-Trained Musicians Vs. Non Trained Musicians." As Royce was well on his way to a life in classical music, he realized the sounds of his youth were too alluring and after a bit soul searching, noticed his true path in music lie in writing, recording and performing Rock music.

As a Guitarist, Royce is equally comfortable performing driving and energetic hard rock melodies and rhythms on the electric, acoustic steel string and nylon string guitar. As a Songwriter, with his experience and many years of study in classical music performance and composition, Royce blends the sounds and styles of mainstream rock and pop music. His unique mixture of charm, charisma and engaging performances draws the listener closer to the panoply of emotions heard. Drawing upon his diversified and individualistic musical path, Royce writes songs with catchy melodies, unique harmonies, imaginative guitar solos and deeply emotive lyrics. A blend between hard rock, pop, blues, folk and classical, Royce's songwriting and guitar playing are as varying as the definition of music itself.

Royce is active as a freelance musician and teacher in the New York area, where he teaches music lessons in guitar, music theory, and songwriting and is concluding a music education graduate study degree at the Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College.
