His collaborative singles with Italian artist Giorgia Angiuli (Tuning The Moon), Cuban-American singer-songwriter Liset Alea (Amplify & Visions) and legendary UK production outfit Stereo MC’s (Turn The Light On) made an instant impact upon release, sending ripples across the dance music sphere with their unique flair and authenticity.

Out now on all streaming platforms, Feathers & Bones is also available in Dolby Atmos, on Apple Music, Tidal and Amazon HD, Blu-ray and on Vinyl.
Speaking about Feathers & Bones, Rodriguez Jr. mentioned,
“Feathers & Bones is, before anything, a pivot towards a new chapter of my life. Recorded over a span of two years, the album was conceptualized in Paris and finished in Miami, where I now live. It inaugurates my own label, with which I aim to explore a wide spectrum of genres, build bridges between mainstream and niche audiences, and eventually make it available for like-minded artists seeking the same freedom to fly.”
