Bio:

Where funk meets soul and love meets grit, the powerful vocal stylings of Jairo Vargas, aka Rojai (Row-Juh), merge elements to produce a raw soulful sound as distinct and unique as the San Francisco streets that bred him. Rojai is the leader & vocalist for the widely recognized and highly acclaimed San Francisco bands Bayonics, The Pocket (formerly Hot Pocket), and Starship Connection. Rojai, a seasoned artist, does what he does best by channeling a sixth sense that only he holds, to move crowds with consistent passion, energy & emotion.

Teaming with some of the best producers locally and worldwide, Rojai puts forth melodies, lyrics and compositions that carry inherent respect for the funk and soul greats that inspired his craft.
