Rob Araujo.
About.
Rob Araujo is a Los Angeles–based pianist, saxophonist, and producer whose work moves between jazz, electronic music, hip-hop, and neo-soul. Classically trained at the piano from age five and a music minor at Cornell, he has built an independent catalogue across more than a decade: releasing on his own terms while accumulating hundreds of millions of streams and a direct audience that has followed him from project to project.
His collaborative work spans sessions, writing, and performance for Tom Misch, T-Pain, Snoh Aalegra, Mac Ayres, Ab-Soul, Nascent, Anomalie, Hannibal Buress, and others.
He opened for Tom Misch on tour in 2018 and Anomalie in 2019, and has performed across sixteen countries; festival appearances include Coachella. His latest record, Nakama (March 2026), is a thirteen-track set drawing on Japanese imagery and the harmonic vocabulary he has developed across a decade of independent releases.
Off-stage, Rob has taught as a guest artist at The New School in NYC and continues to teach privately.
