Ira Rosoff Bio
By
As one of the two founding members of Top Model, Ira Rosoff draws upon a variety of artists over the past six decades as inspiration for his music.
Ira was born Aug. 20th, 1975 in Orlando, Fl. He fell in love w music listening to his parents lp collection as a child. Rosoff remember the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and the Bee Gees as being his favorites. This was followed by an obsession for watching MTV, and eventually cd's. HIs father played keyboards and sang in a 50's and 60's tribute band on the weekends, so music was ever present in the house.
Ira learned to play piano at 10 and guitar at 12 years old. As a shy kid, he played for my friends and family only. Later, as he attended college at UCF, Ira began to come out of his shell and performed at many parties. At 23 years old Rosoff began to really focus on creating original music. He eventually got the chance to record, which at that time was a "break".
While working on his own music, a mutual friend suggested he listen to original music from James Wold, and that they should write together, as it was his opinion our styles would gel. That turned out to be the truth.
When Ira heard the five songs from James Wold, he was delighted. He loved Jame's musical style and recognized him as a great live performer, doing it full time then. It wasn't long before he drove to Chicago to meet him. In 2 weeks, they wrote and recorded 9 songs. Ira felt he had met a songwriting partner for life. The chemistry was undeniable and it was easy for them to sing harmonies together. They both moved to Nashville, TN to further their writing efforts and record. It wasn't long before James and Ira had created a formidable collection of songs. World famous rock and roll band, Blue Oyster Cult, cut a Rosoff/Wold song called "Fight" on their 2020 release "The Symbol Remains".
Ira is so delighted that some 20 years after James and he first met, they have finally released their first Original record. Hooking up with award winning music producer, Rick Chudacoff, top Model is a collection of hand picked original songs written by James and Ira. He truly hopes you enjoy!
