Roge represents the new generation of artists of the Brazilian Popular Music and his sound is the face of Brazil. He moves from bossa nova to samba and reggae, with the property of who composes for himself, proposing to create a fusion of all these rhythms and bringing forth a unique sound.
He has released three solo works ("Rogê" in 2003, "Brasil em Brasa" in 2008 and "Fala Geral" in 2010), and over the years and the gaps between a disk and another sought differences and purity of each rhythm working at the intersection, the point at which the noise references intertwine and add to a pace that synthesizes, merging references. His music is so unique and appealing and stands out for its excellence sound, away from the mass culture industry.
Roge also maintains a project with the group called ‘4 Cabeca’. They are four musicians / composers / singers who come together eventually in acoustic shows, only with guitars and voices.
