JoJo Simmons Bio
Before Run–D.M.C., Simmons was the lead vocalist in the hip-hop group called, “The Force.” He founded Run-D.M.C. as a lead vocalist along with friend Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and the late DJ Jason “Jam-Master Jay” Mizell. The group’s work is universally considered to be among the most pioneering and revolutionary in early hip-hop. Run began using the stage name of “Rev. Run” after he was ordained as a minister in Zoë Ministries. His first work as Rev. Run was a feature in the single “Song 4 Lovers” by UK pop band Liberty X in September 2005. The music video for that song was directed by Bill Schacht for Aestheticom and reached broadcast airplay chart positions of #2 Box UK and #4 MTV UK with heavy rotation on 5 other music channels in the UK. It was followed by his first solo album, Distortion. The first single from the album, “Mind on the Road”, is featured in the EA Sports’s Madden NFL 06 video game. “Mind on the Road” uses samples from the song “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll”, in the tradition of Run-DMC’s 1980s hits using samples like Aerosmith’s hit “Walk This Way”. Rev Run appears on the MTV series Run’s House, a reality show revolving around his everyday life with his family. Although the show does not air his first wife who he says “he does not like to speak with”.
