The First Black Enka Singer - Jero

Jero is the first Black Enka Singer to become successful in Japan. His grandmother was Japanese, after World War II she married a black American and moved to the US. She taught her grandson, Jero, traditional Japanese Enka songs. Jero grew up in America but decided to visit Japan to learn more about his Japanese roots. He took part in a TV show Singing competition and won, shortly after that show aired he appeared on other TV shows and became even more well known.

Interestingly he is popular amongst older Japanese because of his great singing ability, but also the younger Japanese like him because he tends to dress in hip hop style clothes and dances in hip hop style to the songs he sings.

I agree he has a great voice. The clothes are ok, that is his choice to dress how he wants. I wasn't that impressed with the dancing but his voice makes up for the dance moves.
