FILIPINO-AMERICAN R&B/Hip-Hop artist Rocky Sandoval, has been on a constant grind dating back to 2006, with no signs of slowing down. He launched his sophomore release “Belly Full of Lies” on July 22 via Warner Music Philippines.
The new offering is a showcase of Rocky’s versatility, drawing on real-life experiences and expressing them through R&B, a different direction to his debut “Deadstock” which was released earlier this year. “Belly Full of Lies” touches on today’s relationship values, based on a perspective of waiting for a chance of love when the one you are seeking is already taken.
Complete with R&B production to set the mood, synths, and drums laid down by frequent collaborator and producer 300 Cam help convey Rocky’s storytelling into a groove that you can get down to. Rocky’s signature melodic vocals accompany the release as well.
The Tacoma, Washington-based artist is no stranger to the demands of a superstar, having dealt with an impressive stint on “American Idol” back in 2002, as well as appearing on MTV’s “Making The Band” and “The Voice.”
These opportunities lead to once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to support R&B legends Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight and K-ci & Jojo. On past releases, he’s worked with Grammy Award-winning producers, The Stereotypes, who produced Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” which saw global success.
Rocky owns his own company, Baguio City Music Box, that deals with fashion, music publishing, and events which hasn’t slowed him down in the slightest, and proved it by releasing 14 records between 2020 and 2021, which ultimately caught the attention of Warner Music Philippines, and led to his present partnership with the major label.
Rocky Sandoval has only just begun his run of releases for 2022 and will be releasing a few more teasers before his highly anticipated album drops in November 2022. (PR)
