Biography:
Iryne Rock is a singer, songwriter and worship leader with a distinct and electrifying sound that is quickly becoming a favorite among lovers of Gospel and Christian music across the globe. She grew up in her home country Nigeria listening to all genres of Christian and Inspirational music, which she credits helped shape her musical style. She would sing along to WOW CDs and inadvertently fell in love with artists like Cece Winans, Kirk Franklin, Panam Percy Paul, DC Talk, Newsboys and Michael W. Smith to name a few. Iryne began writing her own songs in her teen years, and was encouraged to share some of the songs with the congregation at RCCG Solomon’s Porch Worship Center in Jessup, Maryland where she leads worship. The positive response reinforced what the Holy Spirit laid in her heart and birthed her first album, Just For You, in 2018.
It was an enlightening venture into music for her that led to an encounter with Grammy and Dove nominated producer Billy Smiley. Together they produced a worship EP, “Grateful,” released in May 2021. Even though she was never one to label herself as a worship artist, working on and releasing a worship EP offered a different perspective and was an experience she truly enjoyed. Iryne followed up her Grateful EP release with a single, What Love Is, released in July 2021. The single was accompanied by an electrifying video featured on BET Soul. The song highlights Iryne as a dynamic, multifaceted, Nigerian-American, Christian Pop artist.
On January 1st 2022, Iryne sang the National Anthem at the Capital One Arena in Washington DC at the NBA game between the Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls with 19,000 plus attendees, an experience she is not too soon to forget.
Iryne’s new EP titled Never Known was released on March 30, 2022 and features 5 tracks including her newest single also titled Never Known. As a wife, mother, singer and songwriter, Iryne is excited to continue her journey spreading love and joy through her music. Watch out for the performance video of her latest single Never Known, coming soon!
Lyrics:
Bada dada di da da da da da
Bada dada di da da da da da Eh
Verse 1
I’m tired of shyness
I’ve tasted yes and I have seen
I know who I am
I know the things you’ve done for me
Pre-chorus
Where do I start
Where do I start from?
Where do I count?
Where do I count from?
As I recall, when will I be done?
Where do I start from?
Chorus
I’ve never known you to fail before
You are not gonna fail me now
I will stand upon your word
As I stand on solid ground
And I’ll keep up with the punches
As you prepare a knockout
You got me rolling with the punches
As you prepare a knockout
Verse 2
As long as I have breath
I will not stop I will believe
We’ve gone too far to now quit
You’ve done so much in spite of me
Pre-chorus
Where do I start
Where do I start from?
Where do I count?
Where do I count from?
You know my heart
The things I’ve done
Where do I start from?
Chorus
I’ve never known you to fail before
You are not gonna fail me now
I will stand upon your word
As I stand on solid ground
And I’ll keep up with the punches
As you prepare a knockout
You got me rolling with the punches
As you prepare a knockout
I’ve never known you to fail before
You are not gonna fail me now
I will stand upon your word
As I stand on solid ground

You got me rolling with the punches
As you prepare a knockout
I’ve never known you to fail before
You are not gonna fail me now
I will stand upon your word
As I stand on solid ground
And I’ll keep up with the punches
As you prepare a knock out
You got me rolling with the punches
