Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/25/2015 -- N-Roque, one of India's fastest rising stars in the country's rock scene, has just released his latest single "Elvis is Reborn," garnering over 12,000 views in a little more than one week. The video is the first of its kind to pay homage to The King of Rock, featuring numerous Indians enthusiastically showing their support for Presley and his iconic music.
In spite of the catchy, uplifting beats and humor, the song's message is rooted in a more serious theme: that the power of music can carry across generations and inspire people to do great things. In addition to N-Roque's love for Elvis, fans will also catch hints of his many other inspirations, including Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Dave Matthews and more.
"My dad was a huge Elvis fan," N-Roque says. "Now, years of after his death, I was looking for a way to not just express my love for him, but also for the love of music that he put into me by having Elvis on in our home all the time growing up. I know I'm not the only person to grow up around here listening to The King, so we also thought it would be fun to include people from every walk of life in the video."
The video was directed by Randal Periera and shot in Mumbai. The Music was produced by the renowned Eric Pillai, an award winning Indian Music Producer and mixing master engineer who has credits on more than 200 songs and has received India's highest honors and recognition for his work in Bollywood.
"I really owe a lot of who I am to Eric," N-Roque says. "He was one of the first people to see the potential in my work and signed me to a production deal that has taken me where I am today. It's been such an honor to work with him, and I'm really looking forward to what the future has in store for us."
N-Roque is planning to release five more singles over the course of 2015, and hopes to eventually bring his art on tour across Europe and the United States. Until then, however, he says he'll continue making the kind of music his fans have come to love him for.
"This is all for them," N-Roque says. "Music is for everyone, and that is the message behind every song we produce and I wouldn't have it any other way."

Inspired by some of the classic rock artists of the last century, coupled with modern-era rock, acoustica, pop, dance and instrumental, N-Roque pays tribute to the masters via his iconic guitar rifts, vivid performances and determination that his art is changing the way people experience rock.
N-Roque writes and performs in both Indian and English, and has begun distributing his English-language songs worldwide since 2014. Armed with a global outreach and the type of sounds that appeal to both hardcore and casual fans of that classic flavor of rock, N-Roque's next step is to begin taking his work on the road, with tours across Europe and the United States in the coming months.

When he's not on stage or in the studio, N-Roque loves bag packing, experiencing nature, and bicycling. He recently spent two months biking 3,500 km from the southern tip of India towards the Himalayas on his own, camping along roads, jungles, or fields. His journey is the inspiration from one of his more popular songs, "Away," which was the subject of a music video by the same name. He has also gone on extensive back-packing trips across India, typically alone, finding the solitude and connection with new friends, nature and other experiences as the ideal fuel for his inspiration.
Working alongside music producer Eric Pillai, N-Roque will be releasing numerous new hits later this year and throughout 2016. Layered beneath the vivid visuals, uplifting beats and exciting sounds in every song and video by N-Roque, is a tempered theme of honor, respect and hope that he dedicates to his fans, and to the artists who came before him.
