Rokeaux on SoundBetter

Island boy with a big sound, rightfully in California, ready to contribute songwriting and/or production to your next smash, project, or innovative development. Highly complimented from some of the power players in the music industry for my unique tone, powerful melodies, and impression workflow and production styles.

I own a collective of 6+ producers, 4 songwriters, that specialize in creating experimental, refreshing sounds, that can sometimes be described as cinematic, immersive, top 40s worthy, and flat out original.

I not only mentor everyone under my umbrella but my songwriting has also reached the ears of young industry professionals in the short while I've put more focus towards the field and has seen a tremendously humbling reception.
