Tomi Jenkins

You can expect a high-energy show filled with hit songs from my professional life with the group I was a founding and original member of. I co-wrote many of that group's hits, like Candy, Word up, Single Life, Back and Forth, She's Strange, and many others. Also, I will be performing covers of a few of my favorite artists, such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Seal. Plus from my own solo career, I will introduce songs from my latest solo album, Soul Survivor.

Tomi Jenkins
Born and raised in Rahway, New Jersey, Tomi is known the world over as one of the original and founding members of one of the most successful funk/rock/R&B bands of all time, Cameo.
Tomi has always been an integral part of the group’s success. Over the course of his career, and with over 17 million records sold, his distinctive tenor has helped define the group’s signature sound as much as ex-partner and co-founder Larry Blackmon's "Ow" has. He has also co-written, along with Blackmon, many of Cameo’s biggest hits, such as "Candy", Word Up", "Single Life", "Flirt", "Back and Forth", “She's Strange” and many others.
In 1989, Tomi’s eponymous LP was released on Elektra Records.
On his 2017 solo EP release, A Life To Remember, he tapped into a deep well-spring of creative and exciting, wholly original music.
Currently, Tomi has written and co-produced, with his talented production team, Sound Perception, his next full-length album, titled “Soul Survivor.”
He says; “I’m so proud of how the project turned out. My production team provided the soundtrack to my forty-plus years in this business and the words and music just flowed. My influences are well-represented on this album of 11 songs. My hope is to release it in the first quarter of 2023.
As a successful veteran producer, vocalist, songwriter, performer, and author, Tomi continues to expand the range of his prodigious talents, and his future looks to be as bright as it's ever been.
