Six time Grammy® nominee Dave Koz describes his two decade career as “a series of unplanned events.” At age 13, Koz picked up the saxophone in hopes to join his older brother’s band. After graduating from UCLA with a degree in mass communication, Koz decided to become a professional musician. He was recruited as a touring member of Bobby Caldwell’s band and eventually toured with pop superstar Richard Marx. But it was in 1988 that Koz signed with Capitol Records as a solo artist. His self-titled solo album debuted two years later and was the first of many in his platinum selling career.
