Pop/EDM Singer-Songwriter Rob Roth Gives Thanks to Music with His New Single Premiered via V13.net
Roth states, “‘For Me’ is the first song that I wrote that truly explored the depth of where I came from and how music was my saving grace. I had endured through an extended period of major injuries and fell into a dark place that held me back from realizing my true potential.
