About Roon Staal

Roon Staal is a Dutch singer, pianist and actor. “Everybody’s Talkin’” is his latest album release on Warrior Records.

At a young age, he played the role of Gavroche in the national hit musical Les Miserables. As a teenager in high school, Staal continued developing his musical style by performing in local restaurants and clubs. At the age of 19, he released his original song, “Help Me Through The Night,” which was picked up by radio stations in Europe. This lead to Roon securing the lead stage role of Tommy in the renowned rock-opera where he toured Europe with the Royal Dutch Airforce Orchestra. He then went on to become the opening touring act for Art Garfunkel's European Tour. 

“One of the truly great singers in the western world. Let Roon’s amazing tenor vocal carry you away.” -Art Garfunkel

In his twenties, Roon traded off between his study of Philosophy and participating in national musical productions like Rembrandt (Titus van Rijn) and Petticoat (Peter Koot) for which he was awarded a musical award nomination. During this period, he also released his first albums as a singer-songwriter with recordings of both original material and his own branded versions of famous cover songs. 

“It’s his voice, not least his songwriting ability, that really shines throughout.” -Gilbert O’Sullivan

With 14 prior albums to his credit, Roon continues writing and dedicating himself to his audience with five tours a year in his home country of Netherlands and performances across Europe and Japan.
