~ D. Skorpionne

Going to Jenko Show you know he is gonna give you something New Everytime.

"I mean, sometimes at my show, I dont even know what Im about to do. I like to be spontaneous and use the props and things that's already there, that lets my #Visionites know that this moment is being painted at this very point in existence for all of us! I like to let them in on the feeling I have. I need for them to know the moment is real and Geniune, at freestyle, they get the exclusive when they come to shows" ~Jenko #Astrolyricist

“Astrolyricist”
Atlanta,Ga.
Rockhopic

Jenko was born in the mid 80`s in the Heart of the city of Atlanta,Ga. during a time of the crack epidemic, violent crimes, police brutality much like current events today & domestic violence and social unrest. Jenko, the artists` mononym, is an abbreviation of his last name Jenkins; Jenko which is defined as "The One to do the Impossible". He first encountered the harsh realities of the world in that before he was born, his Mother, then pregnant with Jenko, was unjustily harrased by police at which she/he were held at gunpoint.

"... Before I was born I was held at Gunpoint by the Police, ... Just Mom Dukes and Me. Before I knew that I could Speak. Before I knew that I was ME!" ~ from Song "Criminal" (unreleased)

Growing up from a strong family oriented upbringing, Jenko began writing, producing, and performing at an early age in countless plays, & chorus performances. He played tennis,read lots of books,ran track, and sang yearly in chorus, for "The World of Coca Cola" and phillipine pole danced since grade school. "Hear Our Voices", a collective written production by 5th Graders with the help of Alliance Theater Actress K, which was televised by channel 2 Action News in Atlanta, and noticed by Radio Personality Ryan Cameron. He won the Award for BEST LEAD MALE role in the broadway production "Purlie" at his Senior High School Play.

Fast forward to college where he began recording in 2005 professionally from his dorm room and formed Co Owned Label New Beginnings Records. Although the success of the label was short lived, and also trouble from having to drop out of the College University he attended, Jenko began working at a local warehousing and distribution warehouse Sony Music. It was here that he'd find lifelong friends also interested in the Recording Arts. The Group P.T.A.( Part Time Addicts) was formed in 2005, and released their Self Produced, Written, & Rebellious Debut Album & DVD "Some N 4 Da Kids". The group continued shopping for a Major Deal but came to an abrupt hiatus in 2008 after dealing with many dissapointing promises from Labels. However, all 4 Members continued recording as duos, and solo efforts. Jenko teamed up with friend Lifesaver to form Groundbreaking Group AO2 (Anarchy Peace 2). It was'nt long before their 2 Mixtapes "Let It Ride" & "Everywhere" Produced Crowd Favorite Hit Records such as "Prosperity", "October's Poets","Welcome 2 The End" & others to gain them 1 million Plays on Myspace, Top 100, Top 40, Top 10, & Greatest Of All Time on Rock N Rollica Online Radio in Texas 2010. The Duo finally gained steam and success with a lucrative major indie distribution opportunity.

Jenko released "That Crab Guy,Musician,Chef,Poet!" 2011. Although Jenko still had not gained the sales he'd hoped for, it was the soundtrack for voices that were left unheard. The most noticed Record "Ghetto Ballerina" is a story of a young girl, the only child that lives with her mother, whom is forced to endure mental & sexual abuse from her pediphile mothers' boyfriend. The sensitive subject always ignites awareness when perfomed live reaching many girls whom still need help worldwide. Jenko hopes to collaborate with Tyler Perry to create the chilling visuals of the Story.

Jenko released the swingin', drum beatin', dance Record "I'm So Fresh" Oct. 18, 2011, showcasing witty metaphors,slick flowing cadence, and Rockhopic Style which was an instant Hit with Fans. Produced by Flawless Beats with credits such as Wale, "Produced a track that has legs of its own, just like these people dancin' right now"... explained Jenko.

Jenko was devastated by the loss of his dear friend Angel and his personal felony case for a crime he had not committed and day by day lost the passion to create new music, which at the time would be never again. It was not until the beginning of 2014 of the news that the murderer would be sentenced for 20 years for the crime which would bring some slight relief of justice. Jenko remembered his fallen friend and instead remembered his last message to Jenko... "Lights,Cameras,Action!"...

During the long road to recovery Jenko would get back to work celebrating life,producing again, starting a clothing line Pachinko Haka, new label Rockhopic Records, & teaming up with Creative Producer/Engineer Toni Did It (link hidden)lf Produced "The Chef:Bon Appetit Versailles" was released Nov. 9th 2014, a classical Instrumental reflective effort and Nov. 19th Released the Worldwide Empowering Anthem "What Are You Afraid Of?". Jenko is currently working to Release 2 New projects for 2015 "Guilty Til Proven Innocent" & "Innocent" !

"Rockhopic", original genre ,has witnesses captivated & speculating worldwide. Visionites, those who see a future of everlasting Peace, great parties, herbs,music, & technological advancements are visionites spreading the message. Jenko's influential artists are Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, 2pac, Mozart, & Himself.
