Rooick is an English guitarist/singer/songwriter, who lives in Worcester, UK.

Rooick‘s debut album ‘Feeling World’ is a haunting collection of self-penned ballads/love songs, mostly written when he was in his teens/twenties. The recording is simple/unusual in not having multitracking, ie there is just one guitar and one voice, so a ‘live’ concert sound. All words and music are written/sung/played by Rooick on either an Aria JJ6 acoustic (circa 1980), or a Kimbara 105 (circa 1975) both are Japanese made guitars.

Rooick had 2 years classical guitar training from the age of 14 to 16, but apart from that is self taught. His writing is in the ‘method’ style in that he plays what sounds good to him/effects his heart and soul, with a key belief in the heart moving qualities of a major to minor progression.

Rooick is a passionate environmentalist and when not playing guitar he writes about and works on environmental issues.
