Klenke's current musical compositions have been featured on Netflix, A&E, The History Channel, Amazon Prime, Peacock, Hulu, Discovery, UK-PRS, and United Entertainment & Media.

mission & values

Family

The most important thing in my life is my family. Spending time together, having fun, supporting each other and always being there for them. I have family in different cities in the USA and I love to go visit and spend quality time together. They are my world!

Music

Music is absolutely my passion! I love to "paint a picture" with my compositions and perform music that makes people feel good, enriched, and uplifted in some way. When collaborating with lyricists, I tend to be drawn to lyrics that have a postive message. I tend to focus on melody more than harmony.

Climate Change

"By polluting the oceans, not mitigating CO2 emissions and destroying our biodiversity, we are killing our planet...there is no 'Planet B'" --Emmanuel Macron, President of France
Healing the planet may start in your garage, in your kitchen, and at your dining room table, things we can all do: recycle, drive less (if possible) and research new ways to help in our communities.

Support Local Business

I think it is important that we support our local community and businesses. When you buy from a small business, you are supporting someone's dream, helping the local economy and community, possibly even creating new jobs.
