With so many groups and entertainers flooding the industry it’s hard to keep up with who’s who; it’s even harder for new artistes to make an impression on their debut that will separate them from the crooning masses.

This is why Greggory Nelson aka Rock is constantly on the move attempting to distinguish himself from the norm. Ever since his acting and rhyming skills hit the streets the buzz surrounding him has grown to deafening levels.

Born to Merle Nelson Lab- Technician & Vincent Nelson member of the Jamaica Defense Force on November 14, 1978 in Kingston Jamaica, Rock initiated his career by performing at talent shows, local clubs and at his former high school (Jose Marti). He then went onto the Media Technology Institute where he was certified in Techniques in Video Production.

The Jamaican entertainer has done recordings for the Wizard of Whizper Productions, Fat Eyes Productions and other local and international producers. Being a multi- talented individual Rock has also been featured in numerous music videos and commercials, with his debut in the recent Jamaican TV drama comedy series “Mi N Mi Kru”, also with an appearance in the Jamaican movie “One Love”. He recently co-starred in the Jamaican full- length movie “Kingston Paradise” written and directed by Mary Wells alongside Christopher “Johnny” Daily.

With confidence in abundance Rock sees no limit to his future and is ready to drop his “lyrical bombs” on the global community. Do prepare for Rock Supreme a live intelligent and gifted artistic scholar who leads his devoted followers in a new direction.
