A part of a new wave of music dynamos, Johny Rocketz is a one-man body of musical genius. Being an artist is not all it takes these days to be noticed in an ever so competitive world. Having the ability to be a rapper or a singer seems to have become more of a commonality these days. Digital music trends and tools have put music production in the fore front of almost everyone's home. With music’s modern day advancements it gives everyone the tools to make it happen, but to stand out is where a young Johny Rocketz breaks away as the first triple threat phenomenon to be unveiled.

As a classically trained singer, a completely well rounded producer , and of course with his rap ability. These three attributes are just breaking the surface of what this musical virtuoso entails. Johny was introduced to music at Hines Middle School in Newport News Virginia, where he learned the Viola in the School Orchestra. After learning and understanding music Johny learned he had a knack for playing most instruments by ear. Later in school he mastered his voice and received professional vocal training. Around the same time his brother introduced digital music production to him where he quickly caught on and was the only student in high school with his own CD. He did his own rap features and sang hooks to compliment his original production.

Now Johny has Launched Metro Area Music, a super producer team and studio facility based out of Colorado where music is created and is available to any one with an internet connection.

Performances include; Gothic theater, Fillmore, Wells Fargo theater, Casselmans, Virginia House of Comedy, D.M.R.C, Marquise Theater, Black Sheep, Jet Hotel, Club Alibi, Suite 200, Toad Tavern, Herman’s Hideaway, Stars Underground, Rock star Lounge, Civic Center Park, Marriot DTC, Hyatt DTC, Club Wish, Summer Jam, Jacksons Tavern W.Y., Keystone Event Center, Casper W.Y.

Troll, also known as SLO PAIN, started rapping in a jail cell in 2002.
With nothing to do but read books or write songs he developed a taste of rhymes similar to what he listened to while growing up. Troll thrives on music! Some of his most inspiring artists are Ice Cube, ICP, Tech n9ne, twisted, Sugar Free and even old school Easy E, 2pac and Brotha Lynch. When he got out of jail he went straight to a halfway house. While in the halfway house he would go to school and use the computers to look up other local rappers on Myspace and found the scene that best suits his genre. The Horror Core scene in Denver has a lot of underground talent and a huge fan base, but it was hard for Troll to adapt with such a large amount of underground rappers. Fans wouldn't listen to just anybody. That's when he started changing his style so he could gain a fan base and start making his name and record label (Slo Pain Reckordz) more known in the state of Colorado.

Troll calls his style of music Dark rap or murder music.
Dark rap is a compilation of several different styles of rap, such as Horror Core, Hip Hop, Gangster Rap and even Club rap. After a year and a half of promoting his name and his style of music he gained a fan base. As his fan base grew he booked more and more openings for shows. Troll has opened for many artists, such as Esham, Any Body Killa, Black Pegasus, Liquid Assassin Scum and more. He has also played at the Gathering Of Juggalo's 2008. Troll is known for his very hype and energetic stage performance and for the ability to get the crowd motivated to the point where the venue shacks and walls crack. He is also known to open and close the show all in one set due to draining the energy from his fans.

Troll now has 2 other artists on his record label, several different lines of merchandise, one CD produced and another CD about to drop in mid 2009 titled "HIGHWAY EIGHTY SICKS"! The new CD HIGHWAY EIGHTY SICKS is going to blow the doors off the hinges and knock any other CD off the shelf with its new flavor and fresh collabs with Colorado's sickest and biggest names in the game. Troll is currently seeking out-of-state shows that will get him promotions and more Colorado opening slots with bigger named artists.
