Steve Aoki shares sweet photos of son Rocky 77 during his first year
Steve Aoki trades the DJ booth for dad duty as he proudly shows off his baby boy in a rare look at his life offstage.
Steve Aoki is celebrating one of the most meaningful milestones of his life: the first year of fatherhood. The world-famous DJ and producer recently shared heartfelt photos of his son, Rocky 77, giving fans a rare glimpse into his life off the stage.
In the Instagram post, Aoki reflected on the year by writing, “So many amazing things happened this year but the birth of our baby boy Rocky 77 was by far the most special. My doppelgänger my mini me welcome to the world Rocky!!!” The caption captured both pride and joy, highlighting how deeply becoming a father has impacted him.
The post quickly filled with love from friends and fellow music icons. Fisher commented, “Enjoy every minute mate,” echoing the bittersweet speed of early parenthood. Ludacris added a playful yet powerful message, calling Rocky 77 the “Heir To The Throne!!” Tiësto shared heart emojis, while Laidback Luke described the moment as “absolutely iconic” and already “legendary,” congratulating Aoki on this new chapter.
Behind the scenes, Steve Aoki is sharing this journey with his wife, Sasha Aoki, who has been a steady and supportive presence throughout his transition into fatherhood. The couple has largely kept their family life private, making these photos and reflections even more meaningful to fans. Sasha’s calm and grounded energy balances Aoki’s high-octane lifestyle, and together they are navigating parenthood with intention and love.
For someone known for nonstop touring, massive festival crowds, and cake-throwing performances, fatherhood marks a powerful shift. Aoki’s tribute to Rocky 77 shows a softer, more personal side — one rooted in legacy, family, and gratitude. As Rocky 77 grows through his first year, it’s clear that this role may be Steve Aoki’s most important one yet.
