My name is Chad Rocky. Remember the name!
I am addicted to music. I revolve my life completely around it. It's all I think about, it's all I surround myself with and I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm a musician but I don't indulge in the lifestyle associated with the business. I am not into music for those reasons and will never be weak enough where I fall victim to it.Here's me in a nutshell, a very SMALL nutshell, more like a sesame seed! I am a drummer, I've been playing since I was 6, I play piano/keys (at least I try), I produce music, write songs (mostly snippets), I own a studio called Controlled Chaos that I live in, I want to start a label one day, I mix albums, just finished my first mixing the debut album for The Richie Rocker Band which is now in the local retail music stores, I love collaborating and enjoy the process very much. I'll sit in the studio all day and night for weeks if that's what it takes, I love checking out the local music scene and interacting with other musicians/creative people. I am learning guitar and loving it, I am good hearted, I have good intents. Most times, I care more about others than I do myself; I don't know if that's a weakness or strength, but I do enjoy making others happy even if it means me going broke buying drinks for everyone! Haha. I go all out on treating others with respect and I expect the same. I stand up for what I believe in and not influenced very easily. I am not afraid to stand up for morals. Sometimes I believe I am the only one with a conscious sometimes (I listen to it). I'm very "old school" and believe I was born in the wrong decade. I'm one of those "nice" guys and will never take advantage of you. Family means everything to me, so does friendship. I love happy, positive, outgoing, passionate people and choose not to hang around those that are ruining their lives by substance or mental abuse.I am starting a band VERY VERY VERY soon, you'll know the name because we will be everywhere, at least I hope. Although, I am can be content playing to the trees. I've actually done that before :) I will soon be looking for like minded individuals that share the same outlook as I. I am going to assemble one of the best bands my generation has ever heard and seen, at least I am going to give it my all. I want our music to last for decades even after we are gone. I want to make MUSIC, not noise. Finding the right group of people is going to be a challenge but I know they are out there and I am up to the challenge. I must be. It's all I ever thought about even when I was a kid. This is my life. The time is now and I can not put it off any longer. I converted my entire apartment into a studio for crying out loud! I save all my money just for equipment, put off relationships, business opportunities, stay away from danger and hazards just so I don't compromise this mission. I don't want anything stopping or deterring me from playing music.Take care,
CHAD ROCKY
