The Rock Says He’s “Exploring” New Career In Music

The Rolling Stone held a recent interview with former WWE wrestler and current actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. One of the topics discussed included Johnson’s thoughts about him currently exploring the potential of him having a new musical career as a singer.

“I’m exploring that now, and I appreciate you asking that. As you roll along in life, I’ve been real fortunate to be part of some really cool projects, and love it. But music has always been such an anchor for me, and very specifically in genres that I love, like country music, traditional country music, and we’re exploring that now.

I’ve reached this point in my life and in my career where, honestly, Brian, when I wake up in the morning, I swing my legs out of bed, and whatever the thing is that I’m doing, I wanna feel like I’m just running towards it, and the most gratifying things we do are when it’s for us, because we have enough pressure to deliver for so many other entities.

The things we do, we must do them for ourselves, and then we must feel it in here, behind our ribcage. But they’re also always connected to some sort of commerce. You make films, especially the big four-quadrant movies, you want them to do well. But this song, for me, is just a song to my daughters. Where there’s no pressure of an expectation to deliver something that, “Well, how are the sales, and how’s the box office? How’s the streams?” It’s just from me to them.”

Besides his signing in the new live action Mona film, Johnson has dipped his toes in a music career in the past with him appearing and being a co-singer of the “It Doesn’t Matter” song with Wyclef John in 2000 and “Face Off” song with Tech N9ne in 2021.
