Grammy-nominated producer. Top 25 Billboard R&B producer. Enterprise tech architect. XR pioneer.
As a musician, producer, composer, arranger, and recording/mastering engineer, John Penn II is a musical tour de force. His expansive stylistic range spans critically acclaimed releases: from Q-Bik Muz's pioneering Detroit dance sounds, to KEM's AC/jazz hit "Love Thy Neighbor", to the #1 Billboard R&B single "Something's Goin' On" by U.N.V.
Never confined by genre, John's production blurs the lines between downtempo, breakbeats, and hip-hop, exemplified by "Can You See?" featuring MistaChuck (Chuck D of Public Enemy). Today, John operates as a true polymath at the intersection of creative media and immersive tech — leading UCXR Studios with virtual production facilities in Hollywood and Atlanta.
