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.
