He writes his own lyrics and music, programs drum machines and samplers, and is an up and coming producer. He was born, raised, and currently resides in Brooklyn, New York and sometimes in Madison, Wisconsin, San Francisco, California and Amsterdam. Rocker-T. formed the band Skadanks in 1986.

He gained notoriety toasting with internationally famous DJ Puppy Ranks for Eruption Hi Power and TNT Boys & Girls in Flatbush, Brooklyn and at the Reggae Lounge (aka The Island Club) in Manhattan. In the early 1990s, he started dee-jaying and selecting on his own sound system, Jah Warrior Shelter High-Fidelity, at the now famous Lion's Den and other tri-state venues. Recently, Rocker-T. has been performing in the U.S. and abroad with the Cannabis Cup Band, Version City Rockers, Stubborn All-Stars, Positive Sound Massive, and his I.R.T. Band. As a solo artist, Rocker-T. is currently working on album projects for PSM Recordings with Stand Out Selector, Stubborn Records with Victor Rice, and also Capo Records with Glen Adams.
