A rocker running in rap circles, singer/songwriter/producer Kevin Rudolf worked on multiple hit songs before making his own bid for stardom as the first rock artist signed to rap label Cash Money. Guitar-heavy songs with the weighty drums and big hooks of pop production became Rudolf's calling card, and he scored a massive hit with "Let It Rock" from his 2008 debut In the City, helped in no small part by a cameo from Lil Wayne.
Rudolf was and raised in New York City. With his mother working as a singer, young Rudolf was introduced to the nightclub scene at a very young age. By the time he got his first guitar at the age of 12, he had already been exposed to all sorts of bands and many different genres of music. His teens would be filled with the usual basement bands and local bar combos, but when he bought a keyboard and computer he was able to break out on his own, recording the genre-blending music he wanted to and learning how to produce and engineer in the process. Following the multi-platinum success of "Let It Rock," Rudolf took off with multiple song placements in advertisements and television appearances. Two years later, he returned with To the Sky, which featured Flo Rida, Three 6 Mafia, and Weezer's Rivers Cuomo. The album produced his second megahit "I Made It (Cash Money Heroes)" and sold respectably. In 2015 he was released from his contract with Cash Money and briefly made music under the name Space Rock before switching back to his given name.
