Dave Koz is a media mogul and a renaissance man for the 21st century. He continues to excel and grow as a performer while finding fulfillment as a record label executive and a radio host. A native of Southern California, Dave graduated UCLA with a mass communications degree, but decided to pursue a career in music. The talented saxophonist got his ‘big break’ in the touring band of singer Bobby Caldwell; high-profile sideman gigs with Jeff Lorber and Richard Marx followed, and soon Dave was signed to Capitol Records. He’s been recording as a solo artist since 1990, garnering four Grammy® nominations, a worldwide legion of fans, and the respect of the music community.

He became a record executive in 2002 when he co-founded Rendezvous Entertainment, which boasts one of the biggest rosters in the smooth jazz genre. Dave’s latest project is the CD At The Movies, a collection of cinematic favorites, scheduled for release on January 30, 2007. Dave’s radio career began in 1994 as the host of “Personal Notes” and later, “The Dave Koz Radio Show”, which is heard on more than 100 stations each week.

He joined smooth jazz station KTWV Los Angeles in 2001 as co-host of “The Dave Koz and Pat Prescott Morning Show”. After more than a decade, Dave’s as comfortable in front of a radio microphone as he is on stage!

Dave has made it his mission to end your workday on the right note and provide a ‘Smooth Ride Home’. And with his warm, engaging style, he’s sure to do just that!
