OZZIE   MELENDEZ

The incredible career of “Ozzie” Melendez.

His passion for music, his love for his instrument, and the emergence of his craft that have evolved for more than 30 years.

Ozzie has shared his life compositions with fans across the globe on the same stages with some of the biggest names in the music industry including: Aretha Franklin, Tito Nieves, La India, Jose Alberto (El “Canario”), Gilberto Santa Rosa, Victor Manuel, Billy Joel, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Bruce Springsteen, Celia Cruz, Celine Dion, Diana Ross, Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine, Jennifer Lopez, Lionel Richie, Marc Anthony, Paul Simon, Ray Charles, Ricky Martin, Richard Bona, Tito Puente, Rubén Blades, The Saturday Night Live Band, Jose Feliciano, Sheila E., Spyro Gyra, and Willie Colón, just to name a few! 

 

Full Story

Melendez, who was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised on Long Island, NY, is a highly touted writer, arranger, producer, vocalist, and composer of countless projects across Latin, Salsa, Jazz, Pop, R & B, and Christian genres as well as for theater, television, and film. 

Ozzie’s passion and talents have taken him all over the world as a clinician, composer, and music director with memorable performances on Broadway, movie soundtracks, television shows and commercials, numerous Grammy award-winning projects, and gold and platinum records. 

Ozzie is by far one of the hardest working musicians in the industry. His dedication, work ethic and professionalism has garnered the respect and trust of not only his colleagues, but also the many recording artists he has performed with and worked for.
