As a Musicians for Microcredit™ Ambassador, Rocky. has deepened his engagement with Whole Planet Foundation in 2015, performing at events like the Pre-GRAMMY Party, the Quantum Collective Southwest Invasion and African Summer. He is also featured in our first Musicians for Microcredit™ video, inviting other musicians to engage with Whole Planet Foundation to alleviate global poverty.
