Rocco

Rocco (ig: roccoyellow) is unapologetically himself. The 20-year old singer, songwriter, and producer has been charming the bedroom pop scene with his playful melodies, colorful personality, and constant hairstyle changes. Rocco’s origin finds himself as a Filipino-American being raised in the suburbs of New Jersey; whereafter high school he decided to take an ambitious leap and move across the country to Los Angeles to pursue his music career, under the security of going to college at the same time.

Rocco’s academic career would be short lived, as he would find success through his 2022 single “Spin You Round.” Rocco continues to leverage his social media presence, effectively garnering a healthy and growing fan base.

Rocco concluded his first headline tour September of 2023, with multiple sold out dates and electrifying performances every night.

As Rocco continues to build his world, it is safe to say the “Rocco Revolution” has begun.

Think of this two-week period as cinematic jazz or music to the eyes. What both jazz and great cinema have in common is poetry. ...
