Patti LaBelle, Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross are only a few legends that shared the stage with sensation Sankil Jones. Now he ́s taking off with his album „Firestarter“ – high-class Pop/Soul between Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Ricky Martin.

Sankil Jones was only a teenager when he hit the stage for the first time. With his debut-album „Firestarter“ the New York-raised singer, songwriter and dancer now not only takes the spotlight, he owns it. Thanks to unapologetically catchy beats and sweet melodies eleven soulpop tracks groove and croon their way into the listeners ears, stay there and stir a range of emotions that only potential hits can.
Be it R&B, Club-Sounds, or Power-Ballads, „Firestarter“ not only shows off the singers sheer vocal power but his enormous musical talent as a songwriter.

Live on stage, Sankil Jones takes it yet to another level and presents a unique and eclectic dancing-style influenced by the art of oriental bellydance that amazes with its raw power and virile sensuality. His showmanship suggests comparisons to Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Ricky Martin and Shakira, allthewhile remaining inspired and exotic – an exciting performer in his own right.

Whether he takes center stage as a solo artists or supports established stars like Chaka Khan, Dionne Warwick or Diana Ross, Sankil Jones earns praise. Icon Patti LaBelle, at a live-performance at the Vienna State Opera, said it straight to the point ,“That boy can sing!“

References of a cosmopolitan multitalent:

Sankil Jones grew up in Long Island, USA, as the son of a lebanese painter and an austrian ballerina. His multicultural background as well as his parents creative influence soon became visible in a wide spectrum of talents. Already at the age of four he started to sing Gospel at church, followed by violine lessons, afro-dance and bellydance.

A dynamic temper that soon paid off : Modelling-jobs and main parts in musicals quickly lead to a series of appearances in shows, concerts and galas throughout Germany, Switzerland, America and Austria. Soon he had earned himself the reputation of a fiery performer with a distinctive, soulful voice that easily ranges from bass to tenor, an incomparable and electifying dancing style and, on top of that, a whole lot of star-appeal.
