About
Rosli Mansor:
 


Rosli Mansor's initial encounter with the guitar was when he laid hands on his brother's acoustic guitar as a 10-year-old boy. Coupled with him listening to the likes of the Carpenters, the Beatles, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, he embarked on his musical journey since.

Juggling studies, part-time work, mastering the guitar and learning music in his early years, Rosli managed to overcome the initial difficulties and found several opportunities playing in various gigs at popular watering holes. He has worked with other talented musicians such as Ramli Sarip, Kick!, Flower Child, Trisno Ishak, Evelyn Tan, BojaVibe etc.

Rock music aside, Rosli is also proficient in jazz and pop music due to his extensive playing experience in the local circuit. He played alongside Danny Koh's Big Band and performed with the Swing Out Sisters at Harry's on weekends.

Rosli is an accomplished music composer and arranger and wrote tracks for local short films by Wee Li Lin (Norman On The Air, Autograph Book, Lunchtime), theatre works and recently. for websites and commercials, the latest being written for Nickelodeon and Nick Junior channels under Turntable Music.

Outside the performing world, Rosli teaches music at the mother of all music schools in Singapore, Yamaha Music School, and also as a private tutor.

Despite the performances and teaching, within him burns the unwavering and deep passion to produce his own instrumental rock album. Counting the likes of Jeff Beck, Allan Holdsworth and Scott Henderson as influences, Rosli embarked on a 2-year journey of creating this album, Dragged, from scratch.

January 2007 marked the fruit of his labour. His album launch, held at Earshot Cafe (The Arts House) on 27 January 2007, was met with overwhelming responses.

Rock on, Bro .............................
