JK is currently producing his new EP, #JKEP2, inspired by the Golden Ratio, or Phi. He introduced the experimental listening project at TEDx in Christchurch late 2015. The aim is provide a healing modality inherent in the music and the duration times. The EP is also being recorded at 432Hz instead of standard concert pitch 440Hz. Music based on 432Hz transmits beneficial healing energy, because it is a pure tone of math fundamental to nature.
JK has just completed a nationwide NZ tour with UB40 and NZGT friend Ali Campbell on the Red Red Wine Vineyard Tour to approximately 40,000 people.
