About Jerry Elcock

Hi my name is Jerry Elcock, I have been a performer since I was 5 years old. This has since been my life's passion. My lyrical content draws from my life's experiences, which connects with people of all genres. Music is all I live for, my last album "True Inspiration" describes who I really am. The truth is with out music in my life I would feel empty.
