ABOUT

Rocco Guarino is a multiplatinum award-winning record producer and Top-10 video director based in Nashville, TN. He's been entrusted by some of the biggest names in entertainment to produce music and film that demands attention and makes a statement. 

 

What brought Rocco to his current path began in Hudson Valley, NY with his first Akai sampler at the age of twelve. By sixteen, he was producing the band he played guitar in, and designing the artwork (on acid).

The call of the wild led him to Los Angeles in 2002, where he quickly landed the gig with Slash, Matt, and Duff from Guns 'n Roses, as the official videographer for their rock supergroup Velvet Revolver. After two platinum albums and world tours, Rocco embraced his newfound passion for film, and directed his first music video, which reached #9 on VH1, followed by webisodes, promos, and documentaries for many of his idols. He was nominated as Best Director for a short film, and wrote two feature-length screenplays, while he continued to balance music and film production throughout the 00's.

In 2014 Rocco partnered with Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots) to transform Lavish Studios from a private space into a commercial facility, while serving as Chief Engineer and A&R for Softdrive Records. In January of 2019 Rocco was tapped by Rami Jaffee of Foo Fighters to serve as Chief Engineer of Fonogenic StudiosIn 2023 Rocco made the move to Nashville, where he produces, engineers, and mixes only good music.

 

Rocco is a songwriter signed to APM Music for sync licensing. He's produced two American Idol finalists, and has  placements on NBC, ABC, Comedy Central, IFC, E!, Hulu, Netflix, and many others.

Photography has been a lifelong passion for Rocco, and his photos have been featured in Billboard Magazine, Bass Player Magazine, Penthouse (the music section;-), Entertainment Magazine, retail packaging, album art, and outdoor billboard campaigns in NY and LA.

Rocco’s interest in keeping the arts accessible to everyone led him to work with non-profits Adopt The Arts and Global Sound Lodge. Rocco continues to create in a variety of mediums, to tell stories that move the masses. He's on the Advisory Board of the Ocean County Vocational Technical School in NJ, and is a voting member of The Recording Academy (The Grammys).
