Jean Koning - As most of us were popping pimples and starting puberty, the versatile Jean Koning was launching project after project to thousands of avant garde aficionados. At the age we were struggling to get our drivers license he was a resident at Paris' 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 performance spots around the world, as well as his own legendary punk ´n roll shows, Jean has made a name for himself that should be on the lips of art lovers the world over. His first project was a photo shoot his mother arranged in 1979. His first performance on stage was before a 50 person explosive sex-rave in a traveling sex-club at 15 years old. Jean's reign over the stylish and beautiful crowds during conceptual shows lasted four years and spread down the road to 1jp org where his explosive talents can do whatever they think is worthy of existence. His original productions have been just as noteworthy; especially his eight releases between 2000 and 2006 made a huge mark. 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. Other activities on the side: photography, columnist, writer of published poetry, actor in theatre/indie film. Less [+/-]
