INFO
We know that you will love every moment – the passion Rollo Dilworth has for music is apparent in every phrase of his work. For Rollo, the most gratifying moments, personally and professionally, are when all the facets of musical personality and existence come together. In those moments, his passion reaches a new level.
Rollo Dilworth believes that music is a natural way of bringing people together because, as he says, “every single culture across this globe sings.”
