JENKO FO

About Me


Jenko Fo aka Rob Jenkins cut his extremely musical teeth as guitarist and sometime writer whilst studying History at Edinburgh University, with critically acclaimed and well-travelled indie/baroque/tropicalia/flamenco/polka band Obaben (albums Blue Eye and Marblehead released on Human Condition Records). He also found his way onto the soundtrack of the Thomas and the Magic Railroad film.
From 2005-2007 Rob worked closely with Japanese recording artist Ayu Okakita , both in London and Tokyo, forming with her the band Echovelle. Having spent some time away from music, Rob has resurrected perennial side-project Jenko Fo, making it his musical focus for 2009.
