About Me
w/ UFC Legend Georges St. Pierre (GSP)
🎤 From Brain Cancer Warrior to Mic-Dropping Motivator
Hey there! I'm Jedro "JedRocks" Magtoto—a proud Filipino-Canadian, 10-year brain cancer survivor, and someone who's turned life's toughest punches into powerful comebacks.
​
Back in 2015, a Stage 3 brain tumor tried to take me out. Instead, it lit a fire under me. I left the corporate grind, embraced my passions, and started creating a life filled with purpose and laughter.
​
Today, I perform stand-up comedy, a motivational speaker, and event creator. Whether I'm sharing laughs on stage, hosting events, or connecting with communities, my mission is to inspire others to rise above adversity and find strength in their stories.
​
When I'm not on stage or planning events, you'll find me training in martial arts, jamming to Golden Era Hip Hop, or enjoying some delicious Filipino food (yes, I intermittent fast to balance it out!).
​
Let's connect, share stories, and build a community where resilience meets joy.
Creating Life After Cancer.
