Roman Enriquez
Keyboards/Composer/Leader
Born in Webster, TX and rooted in the Houston area, Roman Enriquez is a bandleader, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose work sits firmly in modern jazz fusion. Starting on drums at age seven surrounded by funk, soul, and rock, he went on to intensive percussion study and advanced composition—winning top regional soloist honors, including at the 2024 University of Houston Jazz Festival.
By sixteen, Enriquez was already gigging professionally across Texas on both drums and keys. That live experience fed straight into the studio, where he wrote and produced the Roman Enriquez Trio's debut album, Fear Not (now expanding into the fusion collective Omni House). Engineered by Brandon Tandle at Upstairs Records, the record drew praise from Recording Academy voter Todd Moultrie and prominent figures across the modern fusion scene.
Between teaching and writing original music, Enriquez stays busy in Houston driving Omni House forward. Away from the keys, he’s into sports, physical media collection, and international cuisine. He is happily engaged to his fiancée, Dakoda Robertson.

D'Angelo Mosley
Drums
D’Angelo Mosley is a powerhouse drummer from Galveston, Texas, who’s been behind a kit (or banging on pots and pans) since he was 15 months old. That lifelong foundation continued to grow during his percussion days at Clear Brook High School, where his chops landed him in the top 5 in the state on Drum-set for TMEA.
Deeply rooted in the church, Mosley brings that classic gospel pocket and fire to everything he plays, translating it seamlessly into high-energy live shows. As a core member of the group (evolving alongside Roman Enriquez into Omni House), he’s laid down the groove on releases like Truth Be Told and Fear Not, turning heads across the modern Texas fusion scene with his precision and explosive style. Off the stage, he’s usually gaming, fishing, or cooking up something in the kitchen—and he just might be the most joyful, genuinely nice dude you'll ever meet.

Andy Ballin
Alto Saxophone
Hi, I'm Andy Ballin, I'm 17, and I primarily play alto saxophone with experience in guitar and drum set as well. Music has always been a part of my life with my family constantly playing, listening, and attending music events since I can remember. I started playing guitar in early 2020 and in early 2021 I begun and still volunteer at Clear Lake United Methodists Church in their contemporary worship service. I also volunteered for Grace Church Houston for their YTH Ministry where I also played guitar from early 2022 to mid 2026 and by playing at grace I began to learn more about drum set and begun developing my improvisational skills by playing. I took private guitar lessons with Halston Luna to further develop improvisation, jazz, and musicianship as a guitarist for about a year.
In sixth grade, I picked up saxophone after my sister and with my guitar foreknowledge, I was able to pick it up relatively fast. I attend Clear Lake Highschool and have been in the top band since freshman year. I took private lessons with Dr. Brian Perez from 8th to 10th grade where I began learning more about jazz and improvisation for saxophone as well as classical playing. In the middle of 10th grade, I began taking lessons from Nicholas Madden where I still study both classical and jazz saxophone. I consistently placed highly in the TMEA region band process since freshman year. My sophomore year, 25-26, I was awarded with "Outstanding Soloist" from the Clear Falls High School Jazz Festival, "Outstanding Soloist" from the National Mark of Excellence from the Jazz Honors, and Texas Music Scholar from TMEA. In my Junior year I made jazz area and still have another year and a half to make the most of my high school career.
I began playing with Roman in 2024 through mutual friends and started on guitarrón guitar and later switched to alto saxophone. It has been extremely fun playing with the band for as long as I have along with just hanging out, rehearsing, and playing at gigs with the crew.
