"[The News Caters Home] is sumptuous, glorious, delightful, richly
musical.... a magnificent achievement of art and synthesis."-World One Radio

"The sounds can be rousing, tender, mathematically complex or as
simple as water flowing."- The Washington Post

Ramzy Suleiman is a pianist, vocalist, songwriter, activist and
creative troublemaker. A Washington D.C. native, Ramzy learned how to play piano as a child by transcribing Ray Charles songs by ear. After graduating from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, he and his band, Ramzy and the Newscasters embarked on a national tour in support of the release of their new album "The News Caters Home", playing from up and down the east coast to California. A persistent D.C. activist, Ramzy also delivers a message of peace and justice over top of his band's soulful groove. Among Ramzy's influences, he cites Nina Simone, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Charles Mingus, D'Angelo and Fela Kuti.

Ramzy is that type of performer that physically affects his audience. If it's a more intimate venue, he can send chills down the spine with melodious and heart-wrenching songs. In a club? In a club, it's foot-stomping, hip-twisting, get-off-your-bar-stool-till-you-get-knocked-back-into-it party music that demands your attention and then, once it has it, decides to teach you something. The songs are complex, jazz-infused bursts written to challenge and to energize; to get down while thinking high; to shift your perceptions while you're shaking your hips.
