Danny Rocco AKA [Des Rocs](https://www.instagram.com/iamdesrocs) is redefining rock n roll. Inspired by New York City, the hustle, the vintage, the underground, the bright lights, which fuels his musical capacities. Pulling from real-life experiences, his music is modern tied to the fundamentals of classic rock n roll. While following in the footsteps of rock hall of famers, his authenticity is undeniable.
"No one's taking risks and pushing what a rock n roll record can be. I think a lot of people want to play it safe and make copy cat radio singles..." He continues, "they wanna get in line and play the game but I wanna tear it all down."
Des Rocs is no stranger to life on the road having toured with grandson, The Struts, and now, The Rolling Stones. Danny documented his time stage sharing with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ronnie Wood, and today shares the exclusive BTS footage.
