Let Go

Holmes’ music career path is a windy one.

Born in Israel as Roy Shakked he started playing piano at the age of 6. A family move to Boston opened up a new world of sounds and young Roy soon became a mix-tape junky, hooked on the likes of The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Prince, ELO, Queen, Harry Nielsen and other soul, pop and rock stalwarts - an addiction he’s fighting to this day. He has studied at famed Berklee College of Music, supporting himself with gigs as a bar pianist, waiter and session player. After graduating he moved to New York City, working as a composer for video games. A year later he found himself in Los Angeles producing albums for Delta Music.

He has developed quite an eclectic musical style – one which has caught the ears of music supervisors who have featured his music on television shows CSI Miami, Sex and The City, The OC, Independent Lens, Nip/Tuck, Without a Trace and Knight Rider among others, as well as a Nissan Motors commercial and movies Poseidon, Day Zero, Cross Bronx and The Devil Wears Prada.
