Sergio Díaz De Rojas

In the organizer's words:

Sergio Díaz De Rojas is a Peruvian pianist and composer living in Düsseldorf, Germany. Growing up in an artistic family, Sergio's musical journey began under the guidance of his great aunt Elsa, who introduced him to Bach and Chopin at the age of eleven.

Although he was classically trained in his youth, Sergio's artistic career took a decisive turn during his student years. The discovery of musicians such as Nils Frahm, Max Richter and Ólafur Arnalds triggered a revelation that inspired him to venture into composition. His horizons broadened further when he fell in love with cross-genre musicians such as Sufjan Stevens, whose album "Carrie & Lowell" made a deep impression on him, and Keaton Henson, whose collaborative album "Romantic Works" inspired him to write his debut album in 2014.

With over twenty million streams worldwide, several concerts in Europe and South America and collaborations with record labels such as Deutsche Grammophon, 7K! and LEITER Verlag, Sergio's second album "Muerte en una tarde de verano" was released on March 10, 2023 via Nettwerk Music Group. The release was accompanied by a forty-minute film, two handmade vinyl editions, an exclusive CD edition for Japan, a collaboration with the American singer-songwriter Lo-Fang and a European release tour.
