What is Rock Rwanda?


What started out as a response to musicians asking the question of how they could be a musician as a career long-term, has now turned into a movement.


“Get connected with something bigger than yourself and mobilize your fan base to do the same.”


Perhaps in its simplest form, Rock Rwanda exists to connect artists with cause with an eventual goal to connect artists with artists to encourage, strengthen, and grow the kingdom.


After spending time with Enrics Sifa, other area musicians and the Morones family… it quickly became our realization that this was indeed possible.


Then along came Kris McGreevey, who happens to be co-owner of an amazing recording studio called, Downbeat Sounds. Not only did we want to have a concert, Kris asked… “Why don’t we do a CD?”


So, Kris and I co-produced… Rock Rwanda, Volume One


And now… here we are as 17 Northwest artists all donated a song for the project along with Enric and Hindurwa offering two songs. The CD turned out great and is very eclectic. There is simply something for everybody on it. A portion of the sales goes to Africa New Life.
