Ronald Jenkees is an American

independent albums: his first album Ronald Jenkees (2007), Disorganized Fun (2009), Days Away (2012), Alpha Numeric (2014), and Rhodes Deep (2017).[2][3]

Musical career

Jenkees began releasing beats and raps online under the name "Big Cheez" in about 2003. Under this name, he produced the 2005 album Straight Laced by Fish. In 2006, Jenkees started posting funny videos on YouTube, and later began posting music-related videos. These videos usually feature him wearing a hat and greeting his viewers by saying, "Hello YouToobs!" His videos gradually gained popularity, particularly after

Disorganized Fun. He subsequently released Days Away in 2012,[4][5] Alpha Numeric in 2014,[6]
and Rhodes Deep in April 2017.

A selection of music from his first two albums is included in the Iridium Studios's game "Before the Echo" (previously known as "Sequence").

Style

Jenkees creates a variety of music ranging from

hip hop to rock and roll using pianos, keyboards, and various PC-controlled electronic synthesizers. He uses keyboard and synthesizer synthetic voices to add a variety of instruments into his sound. The result is a combination of rock and roll
with techno or trance-influenced rock opera. In some of his YouTube videos, he plays the harmonica in his slower tempo songs. Jenkees is distinguished in his videos by the array of hats he wears, his thick glasses, and his distinctive voice. Besides playing the keyboard, he also sings.
