Rocky's upbringing in Ghana, influenced by a mix of military, politics, and music, shaped his worldview and inspired his mission to create music that represents and unites communities. His belief in the power of music as a tool for social impact has taken him to influential platforms such as the United Nations General Assembly and COP 28, where his work was recognised by the Prime Minister of Barbados, showcasing the impact of his activism and artistry.
In this episode we discuss:
-Embracing your roots: Let your unique upbringing and experiences shape your creative expression and drive your purpose.
-Constant learning and growth: Maintain a mindset of continuous learning to expand your creative vision and adapt to industry changes.
-Music as a force for change: Recognising the potential of music as a powerful tool for social impact and be mindful of the narratives it amplifies.
