"Hello Youtubes!" - Ronald Jenkees

Posted by Alex on Saturday May 2nd 2009 at 15:30.

As listeners to past shows have heard, every now and then we talk about some sort of musical talent found on the internet. Some of those may be accidental and not talented, such as the Beefy craze, or the rap of the Kersal Massive; but we've included such things as song covers on the Ant and Lex show which have been found on Youtube.

Well just looking at random videos on Youtube yesterday evening I came across this guy: Ronald Jenkees. From the first video I saw I got a good idea of what hes about, and basically he makes music using his Music Keyboard, backed up with beats created himself using FL Studio (Used by famous electronic music artists such as Benga and Skream).

He seems to have a good ear for musical composition which can be noted when he starts playing his songs on his Youtube videos, and the way he puts his music together is something I can relate to after dabbling in music production and definately makes his videos for an interesting watch. Now if im honest, the music he makes is not what I normally listen to, but his skills cannot be put down when talking about him. He claims to have not stuck with lessons, and has played by ear since a young child. This just shows how skills can be picked up and mastered without the need for expensive lessons and education.

His debut album is out and available in a hard copy from his web store, or alternatively if you just want the songs digitally you can buy them from the iTunes store, using the link on his website.

Anyway, check out his videos!
