Some people know him as a behind scenes producer, writer, father, and gym owner. But, who really knows the real Roc O Star? How did this young man from having nothing and Destin to follow in the footsteps of things he grew around in the enter city – reverse his path after a few tragic bumps in the road and channel his energy to helping children and Pursuing Music?
“Music was passed down from my dad’s side of the family but he died tragically of acholchol abuse and mom still alive but travel down the same road. Never really had a role model so I raised myself. Growing up own you own means you have to do what you have to do to survive and I did – hustle or don’t eat. I slept on many streets till I finally put enough money to be settled. Growing up everyone was into rap but I always wanted to be different so rock and a mix of soul was my thing – then a touch of hip hop help me create my style. Rock Music like rap is a way I can express real life issues an help others make better choices than I did.
My first Single and EP touch on my life story – Roc O Star not the glorified entertainer all the stuff in video I don’t really own but with message to teach people to learn from other mistakes – there is no happy ending to hustling. I make music that normal people can relate to. I fight for the little guy. Their hundreds of millions of me out their that do what they have to do to put food on table.

Roc O Star “Driving ” (Official Music Video) – [Music Review]
First of all, when Roc O Star says:
“I make music that normal people can relate to”
Instantly, he is set aside from the “new mainstream” ( all that shines and glitters is popular) with the grass-root, humbled mentality of the struggling artist.
Here’s my take on this single “driving”… There’s music that sounds pretty good. That is, it’s professionally done, well crafted, in-tune —made by folks that know what they’re doing. I accept that it’s, for lack of a better description —pretty good. Then there’s stuff that just plain sucks. I can hear it, and after about four seconds (literally, sometimes less), I know beyond a doubt that it’s just fu$%ing horrible; terrible lyrics, no groove, and so un-masterfully wrought that it begs to be turned off or burned; which ever can be accomplished more quickly.
But then, there’s music that comes from the unknown. Music with a strangeness that is at first, both annoying and arresting, music with a depth which proves that it issues from the mind of someone who has known pain and hope and unthinkable sorrow —someone, in other words, who knows a bit about life, and not from the outside, but from the core. Roc O Star is that musician. “driving is a song about how a serious of bad decisions lead to his incarceration. Roc O Star says he’s “Not a glorified entertainer” He just wants to teach people to learn from his mistakes. There is no happy ending to hustle.
