Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is releasing a first-of-its-kind playlist with Spotify today in tandem with his latest Project Rock apparel launch with Under Armour
Johnson recently shared his workout playlist with 27 of his favorites on Instagram. He asked his followers to suggest three additional songs to round out the 30 for his Spotify playlist and received more than 41,000 comments with suggestions.
“The goal in this Spotify partnership was to support our new Project Rock apparel launch by giving Dwayne’s audiences as close an experience as possible to his personal training session in the Iron Paradise,” said Maya Lasry, chief marketing officer of Seven Bucks Companies, Johnson’s production company with partner Dany Garcia. “Working out is not just a priority for Dwayne, but a necessity. His gear, his equipment, his music, and his motivation are all essential when it comes to putting in the work, and we wanted to offer that immersive experience to consumers.”
Throughout the playlist, Johnson will share motivational messages and shoutouts, encouraging his followers to push forward in the face of setbacks.
“The theme of this particular launch is ‘Progress Through the Work,’ as its been challenging during this time for many people to get back into their regular routine, and they could use the positive encouragement as they adjust to their new normal,” said Lasry. “Whether they’re back at their gym, social distance walking, or working out from home, they have Dwayne on their side—with his voice literally in their ear—helping to drive and motivate them. The playlist is meant to inspire them to choose progress both in and out of the gym, in spite of the adversity we’re currently facing.”
