| Get Your Own Voice Player ManageDARKCHILD & CIARA IN THE STUDIOAt VH1's SAVE THE MUSIC IN the HAMPTONSSpeaking at the Billboard Hip Hop ConferenceJoy Enriquez new album "Atmosphere of Heaven" available at www.joyenriquez.com *buy it today*~~~~~Incredible~~~~~ That is the word that comes to mind when describing Super Producer and Grammy Award Winner Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, who is now 26 years old and has recently married the heavenly and talented Ms. Joy Enriquez, and has been credited to be one of the greatest producers of the last 2 decades, worldwide~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amassing over 160 million record sales worldwide, recording with some of today's top recording artists such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Mary J Blige, Brandy, Monica, Toni Braxton, Joe, Luther Vandross, Pattie LaBelle, Vanessa Williams, N'Sync, Britney Spears, and Destiny's Child, and gospel acts such as Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary, The Winans (Phase II), Kirk Franklin, John P. Kee and S.O.P. Chorale, Rodney has developed a winning formula for success, creating ground breaking hit songs and a new cutting-edge sound~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~His current ventures involving the scoring, music supervision and production of music for soundtracks of major feature films such as "Honey" starring Jessica Alba, "Scary Movie 3" starring The Wayans Brothers, and "My Baby's Daddy" starring Eddie Griffith, has placed Rodney into the ranks of legendary composer and producer Quincy Jones. Rodney Jerkins, the producer who has nourished Destiny's Child, Brandy and Mya over the years, has a new group to help: the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Jerkins is putting together a benefit single featuring Ciara, Chris Brown, Ray J, George
Clinton, Mary Mary, BeBe Winans, and many others. People think 'cause the hurricane happened so long ago that it's over," It's not over. People still don't have homes, people still don't have clothes and I feel it's our obligation as people to help and I'm being one of the ones to initiate it by doing a song that's gonna raise a lot of money for these people."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The song is a cover of Sister Sledge's 1979 disco smash "We Are Family." "I love the original so much, it's so classic to me, but of course my beat is gonna be more me," Jerkins said. "I'm keeping the basics of it and vocally you have to let people really be themselves, like there's the template of the song, but I'm still letting the artist be the artist."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Along with the tribute single, Jerkins is keeping busy as usual, making music for the likes of Kelly Rowland, gospel singer Joy Enriquez (his wife) and Mary J. Blige.
"I did a song for Mary called 'Enough Crying' on her latest album that's amazing," Rodney, is currently riding the R&B charts with Ray J's "One Wish" (Brandy's Brother), as well as Ray J's next single "What I Need"Rodney is also re-teaming with Beyonce as she starts work on her 2nd solo album.~~~~~~~~~~~In 2006/2007 Rodney Jerkins served as VP of A&R at Island Def JamThe President, now helmed by Shawn Carter (Jay-Z), announced Jerkins is right at home in the power position as the mega-producer has worked with everyone from Destinys Child (Lose My Breath, Say My Name) to Michael Jackson (You Rock My World) to Whitney Houston (Its Not Right But Its Okay) as well as Island Def Jams own comeback queen, Mariah Carey.Last year Rodney worked with many Def Jam artists on their albums. Everyone from Bobby Valentino, Megan Rochell and Rhianna as well as one of the most recognized and rewarded performer of all times, Lionel Ritchie.
