The Rock Says He’s Exploring His Ambitions As A Singer

The Rock could be headed down a new career path.

The Rock is already one of the most well-known wrestlers and actors in the world, and he’s shown off his musical side in Moana, but could he take it further?

That was the question posted to him by Brian Hiatt of Rolling Stone.

“I’m exploring that now, and I appreciate you asking that. As you roll along in life, I’ve been real fortunate to be part of some really cool projects, and love it. But music has always been such an anchor for me, and very specifically in genres that I love, like country music, traditional country music, and we’re exploring that now.

“I’ve reached this point in my life and in my career where, honestly, Brian, when I wake up in the morning, I swing my legs out of bed, and whatever the thing is that I’m doing, I wanna feel like I’m just running towards it, and the most gratifying things we do are when it’s for us, because we have enough pressure to deliver for so many other entities.

“The things we do, we must do them for ourselves, and then we must feel it in here, behind our ribcage. But they’re also always connected to some sort of commerce. You make films, especially the big four-quadrant movies, you want them to do well. But this song, for me, is just a song to my daughters. Where there’s no pressure of an expectation to deliver something that, “Well, how are the sales, and how’s the box office? How’s the streams?” It’s just from me to them.”

The Rock currently stars in the live-action Moana.

Along with his singing in Moana, he did “It Doesn’t Matter” with Wyclef Jean during his WWE days and “Face Off” with Tech N9ne.
