Rory Max Kaplan (RMK) is a powerhouse New York–based musician and actor, best known for his standout performances in Broadway hits Jersey Boys and A Bronx Tale. Offstage, RMK commands attention as the frontman of RMK & The Elemental Union — a genre-blending band delivering a high- energy fusion of classic rock, modern pop, and cinematic production.

​

RMK’s music is available on all streaming platforms and has garnered international radio play, with repeated features across major UK radio outlets and multiple stations throughout the U.S. His most recent work was produced by West Coast producer Zeus, best known for his work with Animal Sun, adding a sleek, polished edge to RMK’s powerful songwriting and performance.

​

At the heart of RMK’s music is a rare and deeply personal collaboration: a father-son creative team. Rory composes and records with his father, Kip Kaplan — a seasoned singer/songwriter, original member of NYC’s Right Track Recording team, and founder of AudioWorks, NYC. Together, they bring decades of musical craftsmanship into a modern context, weaving storytelling, soul, and sonic innovation into every track.

​

Live, RMK & The Elemental Union is a force of nature. Their mission: get heads banging and bodies moving. With thunderous grooves, ripping guitars, and powerhouse vocals, the band delivers a show that’s as emotionally rich as it is electrifying — uniting audiences through music that hits you in the chest and stays with you long after the lights come up.
