Roderick Porter is a Canadian-born artist, producer, and
multi-hyphenated creative from Moncton, New Brunswick. Porter was
born with the urge to escape the small-town energy of his hometown
by utilizing his creative gifts and accomplished the latter by
sharing the sadness and negative experiences of life in his music.
Inspired by Mac Miller, Tyler The Creator, XXXTentacion, Trippie
Redd, and Travis Scott – Roderick is a versatile artist who
expresses heartfelt emotion via melody and rapping, often infused
with trance-like percussive drums layered with high-octane guitar
loops and synths.
Roderick’s refreshingly honest
approach to his art combined with his natural prowess of marketing
on the Internet, led to him creating multiple viral and trending
moments – fuelling streams of his music. Refusing to be stagnant
during the global pandemic, Roderick released two projects –
PROTOYPE ETERNAL in 2021 and the Halloween-themed, Oh, The Horror!
In 2022. Together, both bodies of workalong with a slew of singles
garnered millions of streams across all platforms and globally
cemented Roderick as a Canadian newcomer in the industry.

recently, Roderick has been travelling back and forth from Toronto
and Los Angeles, further developing and honing his craft at the
highest level. The now 24-year-old is determined to shed even more
of his creative skin. “I want listeners to hear my new music and
know who I am and what I’ve gone through. I want to make great
songs that tell my story and journey.”
