Meet TRock
Me: How did you initially start getting into music & the industry?
TRock: Since a young kid, I’ve had a passion for music. Listening to it, dissecting punch lines, bars, and metaphors. And as I improved my vocabulary & my speech patterns, I wanted to do it myself. After I felt like I got a sound that I enjoyed, I wanted the world to hear it. I aim to leave my legacy.
What was it like making your first song ever? How does it compare to your newer stuff?
I wrote my first song in fourth grade have no idea what it was. But my first song I put out to the world was Lil Uzi “Just Wanna Rock” remix, and it’s super fire. My more recent work sounds a lot cleaner and my ad-libs and my sound is more perfected, but I’ve always had it in me. No Diddy.
It seems like you have a lot of support so far despite being so fresh into the game. Do your friends & family see the vision?
I do have a good amount of support. I wish I had more, but I’m very grateful for my support system. I am an independent artist, but my friends help me shoot content all the time. Watching my Uncle Bam molded me a lot as an artist. He was a big artist in Louisville, Kentucky as I was growing up. Shout out to my parents they’re decently supportive of my music journey, but they’re my main motivator. I want to put my mom in a very big house.
Love the ambition yoo! Who are some of your favorite artists & producers to work with?
1 artist I love working with is my right-hand man @HpmJohndo. My favorite producer is Retro @Retroonthatbeat , he exclusively produced my upcoming project. @Mixedbytae is my main engineer he has a unique style that have your music sounding super fire, but when he gets too busy I also like to go to @Natekobain who has a great crisp sound.
Who are some artists you would like to work with around your area?
I’ve worked with a lot of artists in my city already. I would want to work with more, but it never happens.
How would you describe your style musically? And has it changed since you started?
I have different sounds. Sometimes I can aim to turn you up or make you want to get money. Sometimes I can make you reflect on life, how far you’ve came, and how far you have to go. I have a Chill sound sometimes for the people who like to get high. I’m a very diverse artist.
I completely agree! Now tell me, where does your TRock stage name originate from?
I have never changed my name my name. TRock is a family nickname I got from my uncle in fifth grade after I got into a couple of fights at school. I fought a lot growing up as a kid. I get called TRock on stage and at home😂
What are some other talents & hobbies outside of music that some may not know about you?
I do YouTube (@Trock502) but my main hobbies music I love music. I work in the community a lot with the youth trying to mold them into be good people for our future world.
What does a world without music look like in your imagination?
Bland, boring, angry, ass probably what hells like.
Are there any future plans or collaborations on the way we should expect?

I wanna work with Drake, Da Baby, Lil Baby, G Herbo, Adel, and John Legend. Shit, I’ll work with Shawn Mendes if he’s down. I just wanna be with the greats.
Is there any advice you would give to someone who is thinking about getting into music?
Enjoy yourself, some people do music as a hobby. Some people do music as a job. Know the difference.
And last, how would you describe your music in ONE word to someone who's never listened before?
