Details:
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 and competitions, as well as special performances at 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. Doctors suggested surgery, but Alan refused. He could no longer hold a fork or spoon in his right hand. He was determined to continue playing the piano, and he began to focus on creating compositions that suited his limited movements in his hand. Unbeknownst to Alan, he had been utilizing a form of music therapy that would eventually strengthen his hand and allow him full mobility to perform again. It was truly a miraculous recovery. 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. Today, Alan has produced a dozen CD recordings, three music videos, a film score and commercial. He is also recognized worldwide as the top "healing music" artist and producer. His first music therapy recording released in Japan in 1996 fetched an unprecedented retail price of $100 per CD. Scientifically tested and endorsed by an independent research laboratory in Tokyo, 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 under the designation "Healing Music" artist.
