Rockets Media Group, the epitome of premium lifestyle entertainment, experiences, and music, is thrilled to announce the launch of its state-of-the-art studio space, proudly sponsored by Power Play energy drink. The brainchild of Sean Barber, the visionary owner and founder of Rockets, this innovative space is set to revolutionize the music industry by fostering creativity and providing unparalleled opportunities for artists.
Recognizing a need within the Rockets community, Barber observed that many of his guests, who are successful recording artists, were often inspired while at Rockets but lacked an immediate outlet to capture their creative flow. This inspired the creation of a dedicated studio space that not only nurtures spontaneous creativity but also serves as a hub for artist development.
Central to this initiative is the label “Dance Afrika,” where artists signed under this brand will have access to comprehensive development opportunities. This includes the unique advantage of performing at various Rockets Clubs, effectively creating an artist development ecosystem within the Rockets brand.
With Power Play energy drink as the official sponsor, this partnership underscores a shared commitment to energizing and empowering the next generation of music talent.
