Dean Rodney Jr is a prolific writer and musician that describes
his music as a mix between hiphop and pop. Over the past two
years whilst being at home in lockdown Dean wrote and
recorded 54 albums, describing a fictional alternative version of
the present day, Dean TV World.
In Dean TV World we encounter characters such as Bro Bro
Man, an Easter island Statue, Genesis, a TV presenter of Dean
TV and Kaden, a video game extraordinaire, all set against a
backdrop of exhilarating basslines and compulsively danceable
drumbeats.
Dean plays with a backing band which he calls his Cowboys,
featuring members of Ravioli Me Away, Design a Wave,
Clémentine March and Cafe Oto resident space-trumpet player
and world renowned inclusive conscious promoter Robyn
Rocket.
Dean has been making music since he was a teenager. He was
a member of the legendary band The Fish Police who toured
globally and is supported by Heart n Soul, a creative arts
organisation who believe in the power and talents of people
with learning disabilities and autistic people.
