Sa-Roc, also known as Assata Perkins, graced SOhO Restaurant and Music Club on August 24 with her magnetic stage presence, ceaseless smile, and seemingly boundless energy — even ending the night with a new song.

But, beyond her impressive stage presence, Sa-Roc’s lyrical composition equally shined. Woven into her tracks are a myriad of personal anecdotes she carefully crafts into eloquent lyrics delivered with passion. She maintains an easily recognizable yet original sound through groovy melodies and dynamic beats.

Sa-Roc crafted an all-encompassing performance through seamless transitions where she delved into various personally significant subjects that parallel her songs, the most prominent being authenticity, transformation, vulnerability, and self-love.
