Think Beatles meet the Go-Go's... in grade school. Maybe a little Jackson 5 and some Doo-Wop thrown in there too. That might be Groovy Ruby. This Jersey based band sings all original hooky-groovy-feel good tunes that sends a positive message to all who will listen, and they're led by, you guessed it, five girls, none older than 12. A fresh alternative in kids music, Groovy Ruby has just completed their sophomore CD, Strong, Lovin', and Fun. The group plays live performances throughout the New York and New Jersey area.

Already building a solid reputation as a professional, J-ROC has worked hard since 6 recording his 1st cd “J-ROC This Kid’s on FIRE” by eight, successfully launching his own tours, and opening up for major artist such as T.I., Young Jeezy, T-Pain and Trey Songz to name a few.
With a hot single hitting the airwaves titled “Ridin’ My Bike” and a 2nd cd in the works; Rolling Out Magazine recently dubbed J-ROC as “The New Prince of Hip-Hop”. Incitingly, J-ROC says “He’s looking forward to gaining the next generation of fans.”
