Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins (born July 29, 1977 in Pleasantville, New Jersey) is an African-American Grammy Award-winning songwriter, record producer, and musician. Working largely with his brother Fred Jerkins III & writer LaShawn Daniels, Jerkins has been an extremely in-demand producer for over a decade, being requested by such legends as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston & Lionel Richie. Most recently he has produced the second single from Keyshia Cole's smash hit second album "Just Like You", "Shoulda Let You Go" and the debut single from another female vocalist, Linda Király "Can't Let Go", which is now available on iTunes. The word "Darkchild" appears in some form in many of his tracks.
