As most of us were popping pimples and starting puberty, the versatile Jean Koning (or perhaps better known as his musical alter-ego !JP) was launching project after project to avant garde aficionados.
At the age we were struggling to get our drivers license he was a resident at clubs. While the rest of us were chasing girls, laboring to get through school, or trying to sneak into clubs Jean was already inside of them, busy becoming one of the most original artists in the world. Seems impressive, but I guess when you're studying masters of the trade like Andy Warhol and Arthur Rimbaud while the rest of the kids are studying math and science those kind of things aren't too big of a deal.
From these not so humble beginnings Jean has carved himself a spot in the world of Underground Music that stretches from the Dutch Landscapes to South East Asia. He has taken steps into music, spoken word, photography, poetry, theatre and film, working with a wide variety of amazing artists while showing off his own formidable talents as well.
With the help of his personal side-kick, the multi-instrumentalist Van Weely, he created almost legendary performances; his own conceptual punk 'n' roll shows; Jean has made a name for himself that should be on the lips of art lovers the world over.
Without a doubt Jean Koning has already achieved more than most artists could ever even hope for, but his reign is just beginning and he is sure to make even more noise with his music before long. |
