Multi-faceted Artist
Artist Statement – Jesper Jokeren Dahl
Under the name Jokeren and in Den Gale Pose, Jesper has been a leading figure in Danish rap since the mid-1990s. Since his solo debut “Alpha Han” in 2003, his lyrics have been a regular part of the curriculum in primary and secondary schools. He has written 3 books and has been an actor, spoken word poet and TV Host.
He started his professional career at the age of 19 in 1992 as a gangster rap producer in Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York for the biggest names of the time, such as Easy E, Ice Cube, Rakim (Eric B & Rakim) and many more.
Since 2012, he has increasingly dedicated himself to the visual side of art, and today he is as much a painter as he is a rapper.
