His musical education consists of piano and choreography courses at a musical school.
In 1968, while still a student, Rosenbaum started writing the songs for which he is famous.
His early songs were for student plays, but he soon also wrote for rock groups and started performing as a singer-songwriter in 1983, sometimes under the pseudonym "Ayarov". Among his most famous songs are the ones about Leningrad, the Soviet–Afghan War, Cossacks, and Odessa.
Songs such as "Gop-Stop" (a comedy about two gangsters executing an unfaithful lover) and "Vals-boston" (The Boston Waltz) are popular across Russian social groups and generations.
