All We Have

“All We Have Is This Moment” the track narrates being present, as we never know what tomorrow will hold
and glistens with ethereal synths, haunting vocals and twinkling percussion.
Is This Moment The songwriter confides, “Never has this song felt more true - with so much uncertainty in the world, so

much fear and so many questions, all we have is today. For me this is a constant reminder to live fully wher-
ever I am. I’ve wasted too many days living for some future that I don’t even know if it will come. It’s a song
about learning to ‘live immediately.’ - a phrase from one of my favorite philosophers, Seneca.”

C.SHIROCK has received acclaim from the likes of LADYGUNN, American Songwriter, Earmilk and Pop-
Dust to name a few.

C. SHIROCK is Chuck Shirock - founder, frontman and primary writer for internationally acclaimed band,
SHIROCK. The new music from C. SHIROCK is an evolution and a distillation of his previous work, cutting
to the core of his identity, with a power and clarity not heard before. Blending anthemic choruses, musical
builds and releases with heartfelt and personal lyrics, the new music from C. SHIROCK delivers a vulner-
ability, urgency and an aching vocal that is uniquely his own. Driving rhythms and bass are anchors to the
soaring melodies, layers of keyboards, and programming that call to mind the emotive, intelligent pop music
of artists such as Peter Gabriel and David Bowie.

Currently residing in Los Angeles, C. SHIROCK has lived in the Philippines, Scotland and Nashville. Coming
from a family of creatives and musicians, he grew up the oldest of four, playing piano, writing and composing
from a very early age. His mother was a professional ballet dancer, his father an avid guitarist and his grand-
father an accomplished jazz pianist.

The cultural influences of C. SHIROCK’s upbringing, both musically and melodically, can be heard in his
latest releases. Seamlessly blending his refined melodic and pop sensibility with years of classical training and
hints of Phil Collins, Prince, and The Cure, C. SHIROCK has established a defined and modern sound. After
going through major life changes and transitions, C. SHIROCK decided it was time for a change of identity
and took the leap from playing in his band SHIROCK, to going it alone. “I viewed it as a continuation or an
evolution or sorts. It’s been incredibly freeing and liberating to chase whatever turns me on...to create without
inhibition”, reveals the musician.

Continuing to carve out his unique place with this new project, C. SHIROCK unveils “All We Have Is This
Moment”. The stunning track narrates being present, as we never know what tomorrow will hold and glistens
with ethereal synths, haunting vocals and twinkling percussion. The songwriter confides, “Never has this
song felt more true - with so much uncertainty in the world, so much fear and so many questions, all we have
is today. For me this is a constant reminder to live fully wherever I am. I’ve wasted too many days living for
some future that I don’t even know if it will come. It’s a song about learning to ‘live immediately.’ - a phrase
from one of my favorite philosophers, Seneca.”

C. SHIROCK has found success with his music featured in multiple TV networks including MTV, NBC and
ABC, as well as working with brands such as American Eagle and Hollister. He has performed at major sum-
mer festivals in front of hundreds of thousands of people across the US and UK, alongside acts such as Twen-
ty One Pilots, Cage The Elephant and Manchester Orchestra, to name a few. Outside of his music, the song-
writer is also a professional model landing his face on campaigns across the globe. He has further involved
himself in charity work, where he has partnered with various homeless and poverty-focused organizations.
