As one of Toronto’s highly celebrated hip-hop artists and renowned lyricists, ROCHESTER has played an influential role in shaping Canada’s music scene for the last several years. Growing up a student of the game and crediting the likes of Kanye West, Bruce Lee and his parents as influences, it is no surprise ROCHESTER’s ambition and talent has kept him relevant over the years.
His last album "Dreams Don’t Have Deadlines", kicked-off the artist’s releases in March 2020, delivering much-anticipated new music to long-time fans and introducing new fans, nationally and internationally, to his impressive verbal acrobatics. His 2016 EP, Cowabunga saw ROCHESTER reconnect with Grammy winning OVO Sound producer Boi-1da (Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna) on his single Grateful, after experiencing much success on their last collaboration Pull Up, a hugely popular song that received some warranted remix treatment featuring rap icon Kardinal Offishall and Grammy Award nominee Fito Blanko, among others. This success was followed by his single Good Vibes, dubbed as "one of Toronto’s summer anthem of 2017”. Fast forward to 2021, ROCHESTER was the cover of the Northern Bars playlist on Apple music, a huge honour for the Canadian Emcee.
ROCHESTER is also no stranger to big stages and shining lights and is known for his energetic and interactive performances. He has graced the stage alongside A-list urban music talents on tour - including Chris Brown, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and Nas!
