Named one of the top Songwriters of the Year 2025, the artist Son of Stone is bringing guitar-driven rock to a space traditionally dominated by pop and electronic music. Inspired by his lifelong passion for football, the new song “The ball is round” aims to bring rock music back to football’s biggest stage.
“Football has the energy, emotion, and community that rock music was built for,” says Son of Stone. “Yet most World Cup songs today come from pop or electronic artists. I wanted to bring rock back into the stadium.”
Behind Son of Stone is an unusual story. Before becoming an award-winning songwriter, he spent decades in the technology industry, helping develop imaging, camera, audio, and software products at companies including Microsoft, Nokia, and Jabra. The technologies and products he worked on have reached billions of consumers worldwide.
Today, he applies the same mindset that drives innovation in technology to music. Describing his approach as “Tech by Day – Rock by Night,” Son of Stone follows a relentless creative process inspired by Silicon Valley’s rapid-release culture: write, release, learn, repeat.
Since 2019, he has released a new song every week, building an extensive catalog of original music and establishing himself as one of the most prolific independent rock songwriters working today. His latest release brings that same creative philosophy to football’s biggest stage, delivering a high-energy rock anthem for fans worldwide as anticipation builds for the next World Cup.
“It’s about hope, unity, passion, and believing that anything is possible when the world comes together around a common goal,” says Son of Stone.
