About this user

Rocka aka Anil Rock (Vocals/Guitar/Piano) was born in de Island of Trinidad and Tobago, origins of Steel Pan and Calypso music. Calypso is a huge part of Rocka's culture and is symbolized by an instrument called the Steel Pan just like the Guitar symbolizes music in America. Each year Trinidad and Tobago has an event call Carnival, similar to Woodstock or the Grammys, that Trinibagonian's look forward to with great anticipation.

He moved to the US to pursue several musical projects but was hit with the reality of life in America, while comforts of home such as rice and peas, bake n shark, curry chicken, roti, sugar cane and drinks like fresh coconut water and carib beer were nowhere to be found in his part of town.

Hungry and thirsty he emerged with RockaLypso a fusion of his past and current life influences therefore winning awards in competitions like DC Idol (Washington DC), Talent Rock (Florida), appeared on ShowTime at the Apollo (New York) and Fox 5 News.

Rocka also shares a great passion for Dance, R&B, Hip Hop and Soul.

The list goes on but just to name a few: Michael Jackson, Prince, Marvin Gay, John Legend, Neyo, Maxwell, Jay Z, P Diddy, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, TI, Dr Dre, Eminem, Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, Rihanna, Mary J Blige and Beyonce.
