My interview with Jasmine Poole AKA (Charlene Davis, Wonky Tonk)

Description

I interviewed Jasmine Poole AKA (Charlene Davis, Wonky Tonk). She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, but grew up across the Ohio River, in Northern Kentucky. Charlene graduated Magna Cum Laude from Highlands High School, and studied digital design for a while at the University of Cincinnati, before transferring to Northern Kentucky University, where she earned degrees in Electronic Media Broadcasting and Political Science. With an ambition to change the world, she also found time to serve two terms in AmeriCorps. Though she grew up surrounded by musical friends, including a dad who “was always walking around in his undies and cowboy boots, singing songs about pink bananas and lonely monkeys,” Wonky did not always want to be a musician. For years, she dreamed of being a vegan chef, filmmaker, or entertainment lawyer. However, at age 25, after being hospitalized for depression and anxiety, she drove to Chicago to visit a friend. It was on that trip that her goals shifted to music.

Charlene stated that “ she went to a tarot card reader, and she told me to follow my Dharma: to travel, entertain, teach and inspire,” Wonky said. “Having nothing to lose, I listened and here we are. Life is weird.”

I encourage everyone to purchase her music and follow her, and be transformed through her insights,

Everyone has a story, and this is her story.

Below are the sites that house her work.
