Roko is currently preparing his debut EDM album and has announced an upcoming charity single titled "Eternally", which will support Cash for Kids Glasgow. His production style emphasizes upbeat, melodic storytelling layered with real instruments like piano and strings—designed to evoke emotion and movement.
