Singer/ songwriter Mike Ruocco was born in Baltimore, MD where he started his first band at the tender age of 12. By age 19, Ruocco was already signed to a major label and touring with legendary bands such as Kiss, Alice Cooper and Daughtry. While under various labels his music was geared heavily towards rock/ alternative but since becoming an independent artist he’s expanded his sound, “Most people listen to all kinds of music, and that’s the record I wanted to make” he explains. Now representing himself as an independent artist, Mike Ruocco is touring the US promoting his album “The Rise, The Ride, The Risk.” Check out the full performance below.
