Roman July - NEW TIMES MAGAZINE

Faith, Music and Patriotism

Practically all Russian American Media community events begin with a time-honored tradition—a moving rendition of “God Bless America” performed by one of the most beloved “Golden Voices” in our community: Roman July.

His inspiring delivery not only celebrates the nation we proudly call home but also carries deep personal meaning.

Born into a creative and faith-driven family, Roman was profoundly influenced by his father Zinoviy—a physician and gifted poet—who taught him the importance of delivering a message straight to the heart through song. His mother Diana, a talented composer, remains an enduring example of faith and artistic inspiration.

Roman July’s music continues to resonate far beyond church walls and concert halls. With a voice that carries both power and compassion, he remains one of the most inspiring figures in our community—proof that music rooted in truth and purpose will always find a home in people’s hearts.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions to cultural unity, patriotism, and spiritual inspiration, Roman July was honored with a special award at the Best Business Awards Ceremony & Gala, where he received the official title of The Golden Voice of the Slavic Community. This distinguished recognition celebrates not only his remarkable musical talent but also his lifelong dedication to uplifting and connecting people through faith, music, and community leadership. Roman July’s voice has become a symbol of hope and unity—an enduring testament to the power of one individual to touch countless lives.
