“After hundreds and hundreds of watering-hole one-nighters, Rockie got his big break being signed personally by then Universal Music Group CEO Doug Morris. He issued his self-titled solo debut in 2006, and landed three singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. After Universal South folded, Rockie, an accomplished engineer, producer, and owner of his own recording studio, Tone Studios in Statesville, pushed ahead releasing nine solo albums to date.
Billboard magazine named him its artist “most likely to succeed,” he was chosen as a “breakout artist” by ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America,” and he earned a rave review in People. In addition to “Good Morning America,” Rockie has made countless media appearances, including performances on Fox News, CMT, GAC and more than a dozen appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. Rockie’s original compositions have been included in regional and national network programs, including an Emmy Award-winning program produced by Wisconsin Public Television, CBS “Criminal Minds” episodes, and “Fox NFL Sunday” broadcast.Rockie has generously harnessed the expanse of his public platform in service of others. He is a veteran, having served as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, and this legacy is close to Rockie’s heart. He often performs for patriotic and military events, and his original songs are regularly licensed for use in conjunction with veteran and patriotic-themed programming. In 2004, Rockie co-founded the Tribute to the Troops motorcycle ride to raise funds and awareness for America’s fallen soldiers and their families.(rockielynne.com/about)
