About Rob Carranza:
In the heart of the Lone Star State, amidst the vibrant music scene of Houston, Texas, lives a seasoned singer-songwriter named Rob Carranza. With a voice that echoes the soul of the city and lyrics that paint vivid portraits of life in the South, Rob is a true musical maestro.

Rob’s journey began in the humid summers of Houston, where the notes of blues/Rock of ZZTop and the crunch post-grunge of King’s X flowed through the air. Inspired by the rich musical tapestry of his surroundings, he picked up his first guitar and never looked back. From smoky dive bars to intimate coffeehouses, Rob honed his craft, his songs becoming anthems for the souls of Texas.

The son of a preacher-man, Rob grew up in Houston with the strong undertones of southern church in his lyrics. Rob’s mother, a talented drummer and bar owner from Corpus Christi TX, infused him with the necessary skills for the music biz.

Houston itself became Rob’s muse, its sprawling streets and diverse neighborhoods providing the backdrop for his tales of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. From Spring Branch, the Heights, to Montrose, every corner held a story waiting to be sung, and Rob’s heartfelt Rock Anthems captured the essence of the city.

Alongside fellow musicians, Rob formed bonds that transcended mere camaraderie. Together, they crafted melodies that resonated with the collective heartbeat of Houston. Their harmonies echoed through the city’s soul, leaving an indelible mark on its musical legacy.

One fateful night, under the starlit Texas sky, Rob Carranza took the stage at the renowned Buzz Fest. The crowd, a sea of eager faces, hung on every note, every word. With each strum of his guitar and every lyric that left his lips, Rob poured his heart into the performance, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who listened.

As most determined songwriters do, Rob eventually made his way to LA to record a demo with a famed producer. The demo was unanimously picked up by 6 labels; most notably Universal Records. Giving in to the vices of fame and fortune, Rob battled the demons of alcohol as most artists do, eventually leading to his dropping out of the touring “band on the road” life.

Rob Carranza’s songs continue to weave through the tapestry of Houston’s music scene, his legacy living on in the hearts of fans and aspiring musicians alike. His melodies are an enduring tribute to the spirit of the city and a testament to the power of music to connect us all.

In the annals of Houston’s musical history, the name Rob Carranza stands as a testament to the enduring power of a true singer-songwriter. Through his music, he painted a vivid portrait of the city he loved, leaving a legacy that will resonate for generations to come.
