Jerrod “J-Rod” Sullivan
(Drummer for Janet Jackson and Jeffrey Osborne)
Proficient, intentional, and consistent not only describes Jerrod “J-Rod” Sullivan’s approach to music, but also his approach to life. Born in 1992, J-Rod discovered his love for music at an early age and could often be heard drumming on pots and pans in his mother’s kitchen. Immersing himself in a wide range of musical styles, he spent countless hours teaching himself bass guitar and developing skills in music production.
In 2006, J-Rod uploaded his first YouTube video, and the response confirmed what he already sensed—that his musical ability could be used to educate and inspire others. Committed to continued growth, he enrolled at the Atlanta Institute of Music, graduating in 2012. In the early 2010s, J-Rod joined The 4 Korners, bringing his energy and precision to the group’s evolving sound.
With a large and growing online community across multiple platforms, J-Rod has developed a strong presence that reflects both his musicianship and his dedication to mentoring aspiring players. He has been credited with performing alongside or supporting artists including Janet Jackson, Jeffrey Osborne, Lalah Hathaway, Avery Sunshine, BeBe Winans, Smokey Robinson, Stokley Williams, Eric Roberson, The Temptations, Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum, Jidenna, Johnny Gill, Frank McComb, Sevyn Streeter, Xscape, Kenny Lattimore, Byron Cage, Alex Bugnon, and others.
J-Rod’s debut album, The Comeback, documents his growth as a drummer, producer, and creative artist.
