King

Amidst the enchanting landscapes of Mauritius, a voice has emerged as a harbinger of profound faith and unwavering fervor. Jenkins Kheejoo, renowned as King, possesses a vocal prowess that transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries, delivering a message brimming with love and optimism.

In the quietude of Quatre-Bornes, King’s journey began, with his given name “Jenkins” proving a challenge for those in his immediate circle to enunciate. Consequently, his mother and relatives bestowed upon him the endearing moniker “King,” a title that harmonized with the inherent dignity exuding from his persona.

King’s musical journey commenced during the vibrant tapestry of adolescence, at the tender age of 17. Within the sanctuary of the church, he honed the bedrock of his musical prowess. Driven by a strong passion, he began creating and singing hymns that touched hearts and lifted spirits. His first album, “Rendez-Vous dans Cité Céleste,” released in 1997 on simple cassettes, showcased his intense artistic dedication. He proceeded to release multiple albums, perform concerts, and compose hymns.

However, it was in the year 2005 that King etched his unforgettable mark on the annals of musical history. His track “Let Me Fly,” groundbreaking for its era, surged across airwaves and hearts, skillfully melding electronics and entrancing soundscapes. His voice, guided by an enchanting melody, navigated this audacious fusion, leaving an indelible impression.

“Let Me Fly” held a significance beyond mere melody for King. It was akin to an unveiled letter, a communion shared with the Divine. As the song surged into prominence, the sheer scale of its resonance caught King off guard. The media spotlight bore down on him, unveiling the enticing yet invasive realm of entertainment. Despite this, he chose to retain his humility, safeguarding his authentic essence and the purpose behind his singing amidst the glaring spotlight.

To King, the music scene held a significance beyond mere amusement or profession. It served as a platform where he positioned himself as an instrument of faith and divine inspiration. Even today, “Let Me Fly” continues to radiate, joining the ranks of his unforgettable compositions such as “Kan Mo Pray Twa” and “Zezi Or Mem Sa Semen.” Notably, the latter has achieved remarkable popularity, garnering millions of views on YouTube. The sold-out concerts stand as a testament to his profound resonance with his audience.

While now a successful businessman at the helm of Great Communications Ltd, King’s true essence remains that of an individual driven by an inner passion. This fervor constantly reminds him of his musical journey’s roots, his purpose on stage, and his ability to touch hearts with his inspired voice. Beyond an artist, King is a radiant light illuminating the path for listeners, a soulful voice transcending musical boundaries to connect with the celestial.
