As a teenager, he went on the road as a singer with Doc Severinsen and The Tonight Show Band, working with Lew Tabackin, Ed Shaughnessy, Snookie Young, Tommy Newsom, Ross Tompkins, Buddy Rich and Mel Tormé.

His first professional musical theatre role was that of Hero in a tour of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum with Zero Mostel.

1981

In 1981, Rosen met Ned Liben, then the owner of New York's Sundragon Recording Studios.

Liben had built his first professional studio at the age of 14 and by the time he met Rosen had worked with Jimi Hendrix, Talking Heads, and The Ramones.

Their initial collaboration, "AEIOU Sometimes Y" was recorded in 1981–1982 (released in 1983) and was the first American commercially released and charted record to be produced on a computer (a Fairlight CMI).

"AEIOU" was a mix of rap, spoken word, digital sampling, rock and R&B dance music.

Liben and Rosen cut their own 12-inch dance single, which was signed by Arista Records in London and in New York by Elektra Records' President Bob Kraznow before the band even had a name, which eventually became EBN-OZN.

"AEIOU" went top 20 on the Billboard Club Chart, establishing OZN as one of the first white rappers in the industry.
