URBAN contemporary musician Rockford “Roki” Josphats says he might have found a new side hustle in the poultry business, but he is still active in the music industry. Despite embarking on a new venture in his rural Seke home, Roki shared that his passion for music remains undiminished. He recently went public about his side hustle, highlighting that while he is now also busy in a chicken business, his commitment to his musical career continues to flourish.
“Being a musician is my life, and that will not change. “In our industry we need to have a side hustle that provides something for survival. “I have been doing this business with my sisters in Seke and I enjoy it a lot.
“Musically, I haven’t stopped and I am considering updating some of my musical files that I came across. “Some of the files that I have just received were recorded in my studio, which was based at Soul Jah Love’s family house in Waterfalls. “I have a lot coming this year, and I have never stopped despite my chicken business.” The 40-year-old, who is credited with giving exposure to several musicians including Ras Caleb, Junior Spragga, Bagga and notably the late Soul Jah Love, said he was still grooming upcoming artists in the Seke communal lands.

“In Seke, there is a lot of talent. As a producer who understands music, having done production work before, I have been assisting several artists in the area. “I have come to a point where I just want to groom artists and let them start their careers if they feel they are now mature enough and ready to go.” He also urged other mentors to stop piling pressure on their mentees for the development of the industry. “In our industry, there are some people who are obsessed with being recognised and credited with helping others.
