The Rock is ready to explore a music career.  He just released a ballad called “Your Dad” dedicated to his three daughters.

 

 

He co-wrote it with 2023 “American Idol” winner Iam Tongi for a “Moana” companion album called “Moana: Voices Across the Ocean”.  The Rock says music has always been a part of his life.

 

 

Quote, “I always like to say I sing from the heart and I sing in keys that don’t exist.  So it’s a good combo.”

 

 

He wants to make “old-school soul” music with country flavor.  Quote, “At a very early age, my deep influences were Sam CookeElvisGeorge JonesMerle Haggard, even Johnny Paycheck . . .

 

 

“Also Willie Nelson, who, as a matter of fact, gave me my first guitar.  You know the Trigger guitar he has?  The historic one?  I guess Martin only made 100 of those, and as a birthday gift, ’cause I was such a huge fan, he gave me one.”
