In 2005 Rocky was a finalist on Australian Idol, where he got to work alongside then musical director John Foreman. Most recently Rocky has performed regularly with Anthony Callea at several venues throughout Australia, which included a George Michael tribute concert, a Mothers Day event and a Christmas show with special guest Rhonda Burchmore.
