Rockets Media Group, the epitome of premium lifestyle music, experiences and entertainment, is excited to announce the launch of its state-of-the-art studio space, proudly sponsored by the energy drink Power Play. This innovative space, masterminded by Sean Barber, the visionary owner and founder of Rockets, is set to revolutionize the music industry by fostering creativity and providing unparalleled opportunities for artists.

Recognizing a need within the Rockets community, Barber observed that many of his guests, who are successful recording artists, often felt inspired while at Rockets but lacked an immediate outlet to capture their creative flow. This inspired the creation of a dedicated studio space that not only fosters spontaneous creativity but also serves as a hub for artist development.

The Dance Afrika label is a central element of this initiative, as artists signed to this label will have access to comprehensive development opportunities, including the unique advantage of performing at multiple Rockets clubs, creating an artist development ecosystem within the Rockets brand.

With energy drink Power Play as the official sponsor, this partnership underscores a shared commitment to energizing and empowering the next generation of musical talent.
