BIO

Rocky Rivera is an emcee and writer from San Francisco. Her early beginnings as a journalist, in publications such as Mass Appeal, The Source and Rolling Stone, inform her music. As she describes, her progressive upbringing growing up in the Bay Area.

Rocky has released two mixtapes, four albums and ten joint projects with DJ Roza under the Rock & Roz series on Patreon. Her last studio album, Rocky's Revenge, was a collaboration with Women's Audio Mission in 2018.

Rocky’s music is a journey into the spirit of resistance, blending social justice, feminism and West Coast-style hip hop into thought-provoking anthems with timeless appeal.

In 2021, Rocky released her first book Snakeskin, a collection of autobiographical essays that chronicle her journey to becoming an artist. Included are complete lyrics to all of her albums, an invitation for the reader to dive deeply into the songs as Rocky intended.

Rocky is finishing her 4th full-length album Long Kiss Goodnight with producer Otayo Dubb. The first single from the project 82 Baby is now streaming on all platforms. The album is set to release later in 2024.
