It BEGAN IN nola...

James (J-rok) Kenney was born April 4th 1975 in New Orleans, La. Jrok spent early childhood in NOLA then moved around a bit starting in the D.C. area. During his early teenage years you could find him Friday nights at the community center dances. Dancing was an early interest for J, and while wearing hammer pants took on all comers on the dance floor. During high school there was another move(1990), this time to Tampa,FL and took his love of music and dancing to the dance floors of Ybor city during the Miami bass, breakbeat, and electro explosion of the 90′s. This is when James became J-ROK. The latest move (1997) was back to where it all began, New Orleans where he and the Davi Dr. Crew started mixing records soon after, and I found himself to be a natural talent. Soon thereafter became one of the hottest new D.J.’s in the city, bouncing from club to club. James teamed up with other local talent to form the GoodvibeNation. They then toured around the Gulf of Mexico with stops in Cancun, Mexico (Sundance music festival), New Orleans, Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Panama City and Tampa Bay. Jrok have been playing the New Orleans scene ever since holding such residencies as Kennys Key West(fat city), Escapades ( fat city), Pyramids ( Metairie), The Mardi Gras Club ( french quarter) , Club Tonix (bourbon st.) and many stops in between. When Jrok isnt touring playing records you can find him in his studio where he has become a quick study for Electro Breakbeat music with tracks dropping by the month. "I feel my mission is to make (them) dance and will continue to do so for years to come" Jrok
