Hood Illustrated

Meet “Rocco Lupo” The Creator of the New Genre of Music Called “Funky Pop”

Can you tell us a little bit about your background and how you got into music?

Well, I got into music by my dad playing these songs that are from the 70s, 80s, and 90s just when I was 3 years old, and from that point on I always loved music and especially the older songs!  but my biggest influence was always Teddy Riley and Michael Jackson.

How would you describe your sound and your musical influences? 

I’d say my sound is “Funky Pop” but I have an old-school vibe like Smokey Robinson, Teddy Riley and Michael Jackson.

What can fans expect from your upcoming album? 

They should expect to have fee-good sounds like back in the day. Funky pop has its own sound with a touch of new jack swing. I intend on giving everyone something new and funky they can vibe to.

Can you talk about your songwriting process and how you come up with your lyrics? 

My song writing process really comes from the man above and just the beauty of earth creatures and the kids because when you look at the younger kids you see joy and happiness and just a pure soul that comes from God. When  I start singing, all of my friends love my music, it makes them happy and makes them want to dance.

What has been your favorite moment or performance in your music career so far?

Well I have not done many performances yet but I am working with some of the greatest people in the industry. It is all so surreal, just a dream come true.

What are your goals for the future of your music career? 

My goal in the future is to be one of the best and to inspire people to follow their dreams.
