Rockus (pronounced as "rock-cus") consists of Fil-am music duo Carlo "J-Ricz" Ricafort and Chris Dacoron. With over a decade of combined musical experience from singing-songwriting, music production, digital audio engineering, to recording; their unparalleled creativity and passion for music have helped a wide variety of artists bring their music from inspiration to life. They were originally part of a 5-member singing group called Next Phaze, which disbanded after some time, leaving the two to experiment musically on their own. The duo became "ROCKUS" and began to write and produce for artists of multiple genres. ROCKUS is known for its emphasis on emotional and powerful lyrics, along with 'Top 40' style tunes, infused with their music production.
