S.Rock

Stephen Yarney, also known by his artist name S.Rock, was born and raised in a Southwest Chicago Suburb called Bolingbrook. Music is his first love and he showed signs of this before he was old enough to read and write. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Flying Lotus, Kaytranada, Wu Tang Clan, Knxwledge, and Toro Y Moi is mainly responsible for his genre ambiguous approach to making beats. S.Rock was born to Ghanaian parents who loved to dance and would blast afrobeat, reggae, and hi-life in the household on a regular basis. S.Rock’s goal as a performer is to take all of his musical and cultural influences and then fuse them to generate a dance friendly party atmosphere that is truly unique and captivating. S.Rock began pursuing his passion in music production after graduating high school in 2014. During his first years as a producer S.Rock produced tracks for multiple up and coming artists in the Midwest and became a self-made recording engineer in the process. He eventually discovered his talents as a performer after joining Chicago’s notorious beat scene in 2018. Over the past couple of years, S.Rock has headlined shows at Cafe Mustache for their Open Beats series, and for InnJoy’s Live Beats Monthly Showcase. S.Rock has also been a hot commodity in Chicago’s underground music world at DIY shows and house parties as an electrifying DJ. His diverse list of collaborators is still growing, having songs out with local music proteges like Snowy Joey, Kenny Morningstar, and Moshun. S.Rock is currently focused on further developing his solo projects and getting back to performing for brand new ears all across Chicago. S.Rock is truly a self motivated, jack of all trades with a ton of potential and he is truly dedicated and devoted to his craft.
