Early life
Kramer grew up in a musical family. His mother was a skilled pianist and his father was first violinist in the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra. When he was five, his mother died of cancer. Kramer began his musical career playing the piano and violin, before switching to guitar after listening to Kiss and AC/DC. He cites Yngwie Malmsteen as a key guitarist influence and Pink Floyd for general inspiration. As a teenager he was a member of the band Armed Science, which reached the final of the UKM talent show.

After his teenage years, Kramer moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue music. During this time he perfected his already good English. He was soon signed by the Allied Artists Music Group. Kramer was granted word and trade marks for his stage name "ROCKY KRAMER," as well as a logo bearing the same name on June 11, 2013. Working together with his band and noted producer Kim Richards, he released his debut album Firestorm. In 2019, he toured the UK with Buckcherry playing at venues such as the O2.
