It uses the cash basis and the calendar year and began operations on January 1, 2009. Its current address is 6102 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 2100, Los Angeles, CA 90036. ROCK was the force behind such music icons as Adrianna Venti, Drake Malone, Elena Gomez, Tyler Quick, Queen Bey, and Bruno Mercury and has had a very profitable year.
