Jenko Veli – Director of Content Production
The ‘Eyes’ have it! Jenko Veli is a Belize City born and based artist across mediums of the seen and heard. He enters art etching pictures of rhythm and rhyme on lines and in-between spaces with his music. As a producer and performer, he glides across genres of early 2000s hip hop, the waist hypnotizing Belizean Punta and plunging into Rock on the stage of the Wacken Open Air Music Festival in Germany with Verge of Umbra. He is not only a curator of sound arrangements but also of light. He has directed and shot several films to accompany the sound of musical artists but also for commercial entities such as the Belize Tourism Board, Belikin and the National Committee for Families and Children. The latter of which he was the lead for the composition, direction and audio-visual production of the musical public service announcement ‘Da You a Want’ that focused on sexual well being and featured a montage of Belizean artists. His latest work was with international disc jockey OsoCity who blends his mixes with mesmerizing backgrounds, last featured the breath-taking view of Belize’s Maya temple, Xunantunich (Maiden of the Rock). Jenko Veli’s eyes surely have when it comes to fashioning invisible sound into palpable vibrations and framing light into tangible images.
