Born and raised in Music City, Rocky Block grew up steeped in the sounds of Nashville. The son of legendary radio host and alt-country promoter Billy Block—an early advocate for the independent roots movement that became known as Americana—Rocky inherited not only a deep love for music, but also a rare ability to spot what resonates beyond the mainstream.
Bringing his own unique artistic voice to the craft, Block has quickly become one of the most exciting emerging songwriters in Nashville. His work connects across genres, earning him a reputation for both versatility and authenticity.
In 2024, Block was named AIMP Nashville’s Rising Songwriter of the Year, recognized as a Variety Hitmaker, and received his first CMA Triple Play Award for writing three #1 country radio hits in a single year:
“Man Made A Bar” – Morgan Wallen feat. Eric Church
“Cowgirls” – Morgan Wallen feat. Ernest
“Pour Me A Drink” – Post Malone feat. Blake Shelton
He also co-wrote four songs on Teddy Swims’ latest album, including the fan favorite “Bad Dreams.”
Block’s writing credits include a wide range of artists across country, hip-hop, and pop, with songs recorded by Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Thomas Rhett, Young Thug, Lauren Alaina & Lainey Wilson, Cole Swindell, Nelly & Kane Brown, Jordan Davis, Jake Owen, and many others. He also celebrated a #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Chart with Lil Durk & Morgan Wallen’s genre-blending hit, “Broadway Girls.”
Whether in a writing room or behind the scenes, Rocky Block continues to shape the sound of today’s music—one hit at a time.
