Instagram LIVE with JP Reynolds

JP Reynolds (born Rodney Jeremiah Reynolds) is an innovative artist, rapper and songwriter with an eclectic sound. Born in Cleveland, Ohio to Rodney J. Reynolds and Rev. Dr. Lillian F. Reynolds, JP’s parents were told that he would be born brain dead after not receiving enough oxygen to his brain. After defying the odds and surviving, JP was given the middle name “Jeremiah,” after the prophet. Like his namesake, JP would become a storyteller and man of faith.

JP attended college and graduate school at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. It was there that JP informally launched his music career. There, he recorded mix tapes and performed at local shows. Self described as “a ‘Soul’ man in a ‘Trap’ era”, JP’s love for the nuances of hip hop music reflected a different time.

In addition to music, JP in an entrepreneur, coach, activist and minister. In 2012, he founded Peace and Power Media, an artistic hub that produces multimedia content and works to empower budding creatives to build sustainable and scalable platforms for their craft.
