In this captivating conversation, Rockerline reveals the journey from hiding his unique first name as a child to proudly embodying it as part of his creative identity. With refreshing candor, he shares the winding path that led him from ambitious film student to established YouTube editor, including walking uninvited into production studios, working multiple jobs while pursuing his dreams, and finally landing at Smosh.
