Dancing career
Rochelle Pangilinan was still a student when she began joining barangay dance contests and television competitions, such as Eat Bulaga!. There, she met Joy Cancio, her cousin’s trainer, who gave her a calling card and invited her to attend dance training sessions. Joy personally trained Rochelle and hired professional instructors to further develop their skills. After two to three years of training and performing in off-network shows, they became the official house dancers of Eat Bulaga! as the SexBomb Girls.[6] In 2003, they released their hit track, "The Spaghetti Song."[7]
On June 3, 2007, Pangilinan introduced herself as RoC and launched her debut album Roc-A-Holic (released on June 8, 2007, by Panacea Music)[8] on the weekly variety show, SOP Rules. The album consists of catchy rap, hip hop-flavored and Latin-inspired songs, with the carrier single "Baile".
