West Coast artist Jehuniko prepares his debut solo
record "La Pura Vida" on Kemo The Blaxican's Dead Silence
Records. Represented as a a unique mixture of art,
music, poetry, and world consciousness. A self described
addict of the painted and spoken word, with a background in
Freelance journalism, Murals, Graphic Design, fashion
design, and Community Volunteer work, Jehuniko is as diverse
as he is ecclectic.
Starting in 1993, he began singing in Punk bands, doing
Spoken Word Events, which led to a love of performing,
sharpened spontaneity, and paid speaking engagements. |
In 2001, after a career changing introduction to Latin hip
hop original Kemo of Delinquent Habits, Jehuniko began
recording and performing in Los Angeles, doing dirt whenever
possible to let the world know that he had arrived.
2006 will see the return of a Costa Rican tour which
coincides with the release of "la pura vida" Jehuniko's
debut solo record on Dead Silence Records with accompanying
video for the single, "el animal humano" which was shot in
Costa Rica. The future glimmers with positive energy,
as the Messenger of Sound brings water to the drought,
offering nutrition and a soundtrack for the musical
revolution. In the footsteps of the EZLN, Manu Chao, Jim
Morrison, Pancho Villa, and Tupac, Jehuniko recognizes the
importance of the unification of all people everywhere and
empowering Latinos with the Information Revolution.
Upcoming releases include Jehuniko & Ikuestion are "almas
intocables" full length project record. "King of
distraction" promotional mixtape, serving as a promotional
full length CD for Jehuniko's second release "cold in the
hot sun" which is tentatively due out in late 2006.
