Rosenberg started playing guitar when he was ten years old.[1] A member of the Sinti, he heard music often at home and from relatives.[1] With his cousins Nonnie Rosenberg and Nous'che Rosenberg he started the Rosenberg Trio in 1989, playing in the annual Django Reinhardt festival in Samois.[1] In the 1990s they accompanied Stephane Grappelli on tour and recorded with him, including a concert at Carnegie Hall that celebrated his 85th birthday.[1]
He started the Rosenberg Academy, an online school devoted to teaching Gypsy jazz.[2]
