D-Roc

Taking the Crown out of Crown Heights, Brooklyn-born music producer D

ROC is not unfamiliar of how it feels to sit on the throne of

creativity. This church-bred Jamaican- American honed his craft in the

holy temple, learning music composition, the piano and drums. He learned

the repercussions of playing against the rules of the streets from his

elders and when introduced to the nightlife of New York City, found his

calling as a music producer.



At 17, when most teenagers were planning prom or contemplating life

after graduation, D ROC attained his GED while lacing a track on hip-hop

artist, Fabolous’s, “Real Talk” album. Ecstatic to hear his beat

on regular rotation at local radio stations D ROC felt he had his foot

at the threshold of success. Yet he took a step back upon learning that

his name did not appear in the songs credits because of miss-management.

This finding exposed him to the harsh reality that nothing as what it

seems in the music industry. Quickly building his catalog with various

beats and instrumental plays, he instantly developed a back-up plan that

included getting his own business on track.



After regrouping and teaming up with industry players such as Andre Neal

of Violator Management, Al Butta of Kobalt Music Group and attorney

Jerry Rosen, his schedule began to fill up fast with daily meetings and

sessions lasting from the early evening until the early morning. His

hard work and resilience has paid off, with producing The Game’s most

talked about track ‘It’s Okay (One Blood)’ featuring a sample from

reggae artist Junior Reid, has quickly blazed the charts and the album

(Doctors Advocate) went on to sell 4million records worldwide. With a

thirteen-minute remix featuring some of hip-hop hottest lyricists, D ROC

simply smiles and s its back in his chair, thumbing through his next hot

track.



When questioned about his musical style, D ROC states that very little

sampling is involved and he simply keeps up with what’s prevalent

within the music scene. Complexity and color within his beats? He shrugs

and replies “They’re indescribable…I take a beat and make it into

a style; no two mixes sound the same.”



Quickly joining the Producer’s Class of 2007, success is knocking at

his studio door. He has now left the harsh class of 2006 with the

knowledge and determination to succeed in this business. He currently

runs his production company, Heat Rock Productions, in Dumbo, Brooklyn

where he resides. When asked what he does in his free time D ROC smiles

and replies, “There is no free time, music is my life.”
