Biography
Alan Roubik was a child protégé, having
played his organ keyboard by ear at the age of 3. By 9 years of age,
Alan performed his own compositions as well as classical and ragtime
music in numerous talent shows, competitions and fundraising events.
At the age of 16, Alan sustained severe damage to the Ulnar nerve in his
right arm, making it nearly impossible to move his fingers. Not only
immobility, but tremendous pain prevented Alan from competing. He could
no longer hold a fork or spoon in his right hand. Doctors suggested
surgery, but Alan refused. He was determined to continue playing the
piano, and he began to focus on creating compositions that suited his
limited hand movements. Unbeknownst to Alan, he had been utilizing one
form of music therapy that would eventually strengthen his hand and
allow him full mobility to perform again. Ironically, Alan would later
become most well known for his music therapy recordings.
Over a period of nearly ten years since his accident, Alan had developed enough
strength in his right hand to compose and perform more complex music. In
fact, by 1992, Alan had plenty of original songs and the courage and
confidence to produce his own record, entitled "Promises". The
popularity of this recording lead to the production of the music video
"Promises", which was an instant hit on such programs as MTV, Star TV
Asia and MOR Music. Consequently, Alan is the only independent American
recording artist to have his video featured on MTV, Star TV and PBS
(Classic Arts Showcase).
Since then, Alan has produced numerous popular
recordings, music videos, a film score and commercials. He is considered
as one of the worlds top "healing music" artist and producer. His first
music therapy recording released in Japan in 1996, entitled Hado Music
Series 1 (also known as The Four Seasons), fetched an unprecedented
retail price of $100 per CD. Scientifically tested and endorsed by an
independent research laboratory in Tokyo by Dr. Masaru Emoto,
Alan’s music is said to have the most healing properties of any
modern music. He is the only non-Japanese recording artist to be
inducted in the National Archives of Japan for his healing music. Today,
Alan's music is used and recommended by doctors, professional athletes
and trainers, health, fitness and yoga instructors, as well as spiritual
healers.
