Düsseldorf music legend Volker Rosin: The man behind the children's hits!
Volker Rosin, the popular children's music producer and songwriter, is celebrating great success in Düsseldorf. The 68-year-old, who discovered his passion for music as a child, was born into difficult circumstances. "When I was 14, I was madly in love, but also unhappy. Then I let out my frustration on the guitar," he remembers. The sounds of the Beatles and Bee Gees shaped his youth and provided him with an outlet that enabled him to break out of social isolation. Rosin is not only known as an artist, but also as a singer and music educator and is actively involved with children and young people. How RP Online reports, Rosin has released numerous hits over the years, including “The Gorilla with Sunglasses” and “The Camel Likes to Dance Cha Cha Cha.”
Born on February 25, 1956 in Rheinkamp, Volker Rosin has had an impressive career that has made him known beyond children's music. He took his first step into the music world in 1973 in youth centers before he began his own business as a children's songwriter in 1978. Rosin's songs are not only entertaining, but also promote learning and social interaction. With the “Tanzalarm” project and a large number of albums he has conquered the hearts of millions of children. According to information from Wikipedia He has sold over four million CDs and his work has been recognized with several awards, including Golden Records and the German Music Authors' Prize.
