“This has been a new beginning in my life, so I’m feeling ‘reborn’,” the rapper says of his transition from Brooklyn to Philly. I’ve watched all the Rocky movies countless times, and still quote movie lines with my friends all the time!”Ī Brooklyn, New York native, Gammone recently made a big move in relocating his young family to central Pennsylvania in the hopes of providing them a better quality of life. But I always loved my name, because I thought it was really cool how it was synonymous with such a classic movie. “Growing up sharing Rocky’s name was definitely a big part of the allure. In 2009, after feeling the Lord’s calling on his life, Gammone began a journey into Christian rap. Inspired by Eminem and a music-oriented family, Gammone began taking rap seriously in high school, eventually going on to join a rock band as its drummer and rapper. Eventually put both together, and it became Rocky Nails.” “For a while I just went by ‘Nails’, but everyone still would always call me Rocky whenever I performed anywhere. So we are all the nails in his hands and feet,” Gammone explains. “Christ had to die with nails in his hands and feet, crucified for us.
That’s the stage name of Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter Rocco Gammone, who was lucky enough to have “Rocky” as his name growing up, coupled with his high school baseball nickname “Nails”. What do you get when you mix rap music, Rocky Balboa, and a strong Christian faith? Rocky Nails.
