He is better known by his artist name RoQy TyRaiD. His stage name has not always been the same though. His name was originally J RoQ which was his nickname given when he was a kid. As he grew up he wanted to move on and felt the name did not represent him anymore. Besides there were many artists with similar name. So after a show he was chilling with his dude and he suggested “Tirade” because that was actually what RoQy was doing a lot. So he agreed to stick with RoQy in the front and added TyRaiD to the end.
