Nate DiRocco, a Downingtown West High School graduate, is already making waves in the music industry at 18 years old, writes Shirley Ju for AllHipHop.com.

The singer, songwriter, producer, and rapper who goes by the name Rocco entered the scene with a distinct melodic sound. He can seamlessly switch between rapping and harmonizing vocals — all while speaking his truth.

Rocco sees himself as a “producer, engineer, artist, guitar player, all-around type of artist, somebody who makes music for people to feel.”

He describes his sound as pop with a melodic hook and gritty rap verses.

“It’s a nice in-between: hip-hop and pop-infused,” he said.

He learned how to produce around a year ago, adding to his already impressive list of skills. Today, he produces and engineers all of his own songs.

His first hit, “Honest,” went viral on TikTok before racking up numbers on other platforms as well. He recently released his new single, “Times Changed,” and is not planning to slow down any time soon.

“My main goal right now is consistency and figuring out what works,” he said.
