Signature

Sindre Langhelle (/ˈsɪndrɛ ˈlɑːŋhələ/; born August 3, 1990), known professionally as Rocky Kramer (/ˈrɒki ˈkreɪmər/), is a Norwegian-American guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer, and bandleader from Trondheim, who is now based in Los Angeles, California. In 2018, Kramer became more widely known when he headlined the Seattle Hempfest. The next year, in 2019, he released the single "Rock Star" from his debut Album "Firestorm," together with a well-received animation over live-action music video, exceeding a million views on Facebook. "Rock Star" reached #1 on the Global DRT Chart and was nominated for a Hollywood Music in Media Award. Following release of "Firestorm," Kramer performed at the 2019 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, before joining Buckcherry's tour throughout the United Kingdom. Kramer has been described as "ne of the strongest and most poignant guitarists since Hendrix." On August 3, 2021, it was announced that Kramer had been cast to play the character "Lars Olsen" in the Aaron Lee Lopez directed feature film "Rockin' In Time." due in theaters in 2023. Kramer plays and endorses Fender Stratocaster guitars.

Early life

Kramer was born to Bjørn Langhelle and Ingjerd Langhelle, nee Andresen, in Trondheim, Norway. He grew up in a musical family, as his mother was a skilled pianist and vocalist, while his father was first violinist in the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra. Kramer's older brother is Norwegian Jazz musician Ståle Langhelle. When Kramer was five, his mother died of cancer. Kramer began his musical career playing the piano and violin, before switching to guitar after listening to KISS and AC/DC. He cites Yngwie Malmsteen as a key guitar influence and Pink Floyd for general inspiration. As a teenager he was a member of the band Armed Science, which reached the final of the Ungdommens kulturmønstring or UKM talent show.

Career

After his teenage years, Kramer moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue music. During this time he perfected his already good English. He was soon signed by the Allied Artists Music Group. Kramer was granted word and trade marks for his stage name "ROCKY KRAMER", as well as a logo bearing the same name on June 11, 2013. Working together with his band and noted producer Kim Richards, he released his debut album Firestorm on August 9, 2019, celebrated with a "star-studded" red carpet release party, held on a sound stage in Los Angeles on July 30, 2019, that was catered by In & Out Burger. On April 23, 2019, it was announced that Kramer had signed with TKO Booking Agency. Immediately after the 2019 album release party, Kramer played August 4, 5 and 6 at the 2019 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, followed by a tour of the United Kingdom with Buckcherry, playing at venues such as the O₂. Kramer's first single "Rock Star," from the Firestorm album reached #1 on the Global DRT Chart on October 5, 2019. Prior to releasing the "Rock Star" single, Kramer released "a humorous music video that pokes fun at 1980's era MTV style productions, as seen through the eyes of an animated 13-year-old "Little Rocky," dreaming of becoming a 'Rock Star!'"

On April 7, 2020, the weekly Kramer-hosted live broadcast, "Rock & Roll Tuesdays with Rocky Kramer", premiered on Twitch. During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, Kramer looked for ways to entertain from home. He had previously released a video of Comfortably Numb from Pink Floyd's The Wall, a tribute to David Gilmour. Kramer chose Twitch because it was a "great way to stay in touch with fans and ... develop new fans" During Kramer's October 13, 2020 Rock & Roll Tuesdays program, he premiered a cover video tribute to Yngwie Malmsteen, of the "Baroque & Roll" instrumental from Malmsteen's fourteenth studio album, Attack!!. Throughout the Pandemic Lockdown, Kramer has released additional cover videos of Foo Fighters "The Pretender", Linkin Park "Breaking The Habit," Edwyn Collins "A Girl Like You," CHVRCHES "Keep You on My Side," Queen "The Show Must Go On," and Genesis "Mama."

On November 19, 2020, organizers of the "'Let Me Help' Celebrity Benefit Concert" announced that Kramer would join Steve Vai, Slash, Verdine White (Earth, Wind & Fire), Suzy Quatro, Martha Davis (The Motels), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and many others, in a concert "to benefit those devastated by COVID-19, bullying, and prostate cancer" to be aired on November 24, 2020.

The Rocky Kramer Band

Kramer assembled an accomplished group of progressive metal musicians formally known as "The Rocky Kramer Band". In addition to Kramer, the current line up consists of Alejandro Mercado on drums and backup vocals, Michael Dwyer on bass guitar and backup vocals and Matt Grossman on Keyboards and backup vocals. Each of the current members played on Kramer's Firestorm album, with the exception of Grossman, who joined the band after Firestorm was recorded, but has toured with Kramer. Grossman is expected to perform on Kramer's follow-up album. The original keyboard parts on Firestorm were performed by Jon Dunmore.

Immigration & Naturalization

Kramer grew up in 1990’s Norway, but felt it wasn’t the best decade or location for rock music, preferring music created before he was born that became popular in the United States. He decided to attend classes in California in 2011, obtaining a student visa to do so. While in the United States as a student, Kramer hoped to be discovered. Owing to the efforts of his school's host family matriarch, Kramer met noted guitarist, Mike Pinera (Alice Cooper, Iron Butterfly & Blues Image), who introduced him to Allied Artists Music Group, who signed him to a recording contract and petitioned for an "extraordinary ability" visa. Kramer relocated to the United States permanently in 2012. Soon thereafter, Kramer exchanged his "Extraordinary Ability" visa for "Permanent Resident" status. Five years later Kramer became eligible to apply for United States citizenship. However, he didn't want to renounce his Norwegian citizenship. Fortuitously for Kramer, Norway changed its laws to permit dual citizenship a month before he became eligible to submit his U.S. citizenship application. Kramer applied for and was sworn in as a United States citizen on March 4, 2021. Because Norway now permits dual citizenship, Kramer is officially a citizen of both Norway and the United States, referring to himself as a "Norwegian-American." To celebrate being welcomed in as a United States citizen, Kramer recorded an instrumental version of The "Star Spangled Banner," filming portions during his oath ceremony and releasing it as a music video that premiered on the March 9, 2021 episode of "Rock & Roll Tuesdays with Rocky Kramer."

Equipment

In regard to Kramer's choice of musical instruments, equipment and endorsements, he has stated: "I approach endorsements different than some artists. I only endorse products I honestly use and honestly love." Kramer bought his first Fender Stratocaster at age 14 and owns a number of them today, along with a Fender Telecaster and Jazz Bass. Kramer had an opportunity to endorse Gibson guitars, but chose Fender over Gibson because that's what he plays. In addition to Fender, Kramer also endorses ENGL Amps, Jim Dunlop Guitar Picks, ClearTone Guitar Strings, Spiral Electric FX Pedals, Fractal Audio Axe FX III Amp Modelers, and JH Audio In-Ears.

Notes

The song Rock Star achieved Number 1 - TOP 150 INDEPENDENT AIRPLAY CHART October 5, 2019
