His dexterous classical fingerstyle approach and melodic compositional skills easily make him a bonafide star.
As an American guitarist and composer, Rollins has released ten solo albums. He also has four albums to his name as a member of the Young and Rollins Latin fusion duo. His albums feature numerous renowned artists, including Charlie Bisharat, Mads Tolling, Randy Tico, and Cameron Stone. All these artists have won Grammies.
