ROCKEY

Rockey was named after his grandfather's favorite boxer undefeated heavy-weight champion Rocky Marciano. "Rocky was tough, and retired undefeated in his professional career"; not a bad guy to be named after. "I always knew I was special, a champion and I just had to get out of my surroundings". I grew up in St. Louis. My father was a drummer for many artist of his day. He influenced my love for and with music.Rockey left St. Louis for Atlanta and honed his skills and made the right musical connections and garnered the attention of underground and commerical artists alike. I have had the opportunity to open for some of the biggest names in music; Common, Keith Murray,Kanye West and Fertile Ground to name a few. Rockey is also making a name for himself in Germany,London and France with producer and DJ, Jay Haze and DJ Easy. it's always such a shock to be loved by so many in other countries; our following is getting bigger and bigger! Having dropped 3 independent albums since 2006: Round One, Fireseazon, Black Star Power (BSP the EP) to cult success and a increasingly rising fan base Rockey is hard at work on his 4th not yet titled independent album and concert tour for the Fall of 2010. I'm at the top of my game. I 've stretched myself and thought outside the box as much as possible. I want my music to have a purpose. I want to entertain but still keep you aware". Music provided Rockey a creative outlet to be powerful. "I am showing you what St. Louis is about, we're lyrical, and we have our own style and I want to showcase that. I want to show people the St. Louis you don't see". "I rap for the kids who run with gangs, sell dope, and drop out of school because I was one of them. I'm here to tell them that there is a way out of that path, I'm living proof of that. The stars are aligned, I made a choice to change my life and follow my dream!
