Born and raised in Brampton, Ontario, Rori Franklin was inspired by artists such as Drake, Biggie Smalls, and Brent Faiyaz for their unique and original sound. Rap, Hip-Hop and R&B influence his sound heavily. He first began creating music in 2015 because he wanted to make music 'for the people' and ROCKY DA GOD was created.

​

He first performed at a PARKINGLVL9 event in 2021, and is getting ready for his up and coming project in 2022.
