Jerrod J-Rod Sullivan - Current Drummer for Janet Jackson and Jeffery Osborne
Proficient, intentional, and consistent not only describes Jerrod ‘J-rod’ Sullivan’s approach to music, but also his approach to life. Born in 1992, J-rod discovered his love for music at the early age of two and could often be heard drumming on pots and pans in his mother’s kitchen. Immersing himself in the diverse world of music, J-rod spent countless hours teaching himself to play bass guitar and the art of production. In 2006, J-rod uploaded his first Youtube video, and the reactions confirmed what he knew all along - his musical talent would be used as a gift to educate and inspire others. Committed to learning and advancing his skill, J-rod enrolled in the Atlanta Institute of Music, graduating in 2012, and joined The 4 Korners band in 2013. With a growing community of over 700K+ online followers, it's obvious that J-rod’s brand exceeds his talent. His style, method, and dedication create an electric and eager community of aspiring and talented musicians. J-rod's talent has led him to collaborate with some notable artists, including Janet Jackson, Jeffrey Osborne, Lalah Hathaway, Avery Sunshine, Bebe Winans, Smokey Robinson, Stokley Williams, Eric Roberson, The Temptations, Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum, Jidenna, Johnny Gill, Frank McComb, Sevyn Streeter, Xscape, Kenny Latimore, Byron Cage, Alex Bugnon, and many more. These collaborations have further showcased J-rod's versatility and ability to work with a wide range of artists. Additionally, J-rod has recently reached a significant milestone in his career. His highly anticipated debut album, "The Comeback," is now available. This album is a culmination of his musical journey, showcasing his growth, passion, and unique artistic vision. With captivating melodies and a distinctive sound, "The Comeback" promises to leave a lasting impression on listeners and establish J-rod as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
The 4 Korners
An original live instrumental music band, The 4 Korners play jazz fusion, though they prefer to call their sounds “Journey Music.” The ensemble is composed of Clarence “T-lee” Hill on keys, James “JT” Thompson on bass, Isaac “Ike” Thompson on guitar, and Jerrod “J-rod” Sullivan on drums. They are connected in a variety of ways, and their bonds are strengthened by their shared passion for playing music that creates experiences. JT and Ike are brothers, and along with J-rod, they are from Cartersville, a town in Bartow County, Georgia. Clarence is from Acworth, another town in Bartow County, and JT, Ike, and Clarence have been friends for more than twenty years, first meeting at a musical held at New Beginning Church in Emerson in 2000. J-rod came on board in 2013 as the band’s new drummer, two years after their 2011 formation. Having toured with major artists, The 4 Korners dropped their first album, an eponymous indie record, in 2014, and in 2015 they signed with Ropeadope Records. Their first and to date only album with Ropeadope Records, Portal of Gold, was released in October 2016. In July 2017, they released a single, “Phraseology,” on their own. The 4 Korners are known for playing with an inimitably high level of energy. When you are listening to The 4 Korners, you are being transported to someplace else, someplace that only you can see, someplace that you share with the world at large.
