"If you want it, put that game face on,” says inspiring artist and entrepreneur Frankie Jenkins aka Dub Cal. He wears a game face that humbly exemplifies his ability to be successfully multi-talented.

Over the years he has produced quality music and products, making him sustainably iconic worldwide. Frankie is a true example that when you “Claim it. Work for it. Know that anything is possible if you just believe."
Frankie started out in 2014 on the streets of West Coast California, known at Dub Cal, though he had lived there since he was 5 months old. It taught him how better to relate to people in the music industry and in general, as he too was just an average Joe. The name Dub Cal developed overtime thanks to his positive impact on the West, hence the Dub, and Cal being from California.
He is rapidly developing into one of the biggest music stories having been featured in Hip Hop & R*B magazine, interviewed on The Literary Corner radio show hosted by Laura Poindexter, DSR Fire Inc radio hosted by Kane Spade and Boom Radio with Joe Rocha, and performed at the Miss Brazil USA Tour Pageant on behalf of Cristina Rebiero in 2014. He has also produced with Teaz Em of Envius Music, Curtis Young, Verbal Pimp, James Evans of Ikonik Music/LFMG, Lonny at Neon Blood Studios and Omid of Vegas Music.
One of his biggest accomplishments was becoming an A&R for the entertainment industry, with an established distribution label. Frankie believes that “music has no genre; there is only good or bad music. But it helps when you are not favoring a genre or style and just seeking quality music”. Having been once a formerly known artist, he is able to relate to both sides of the spectrum, making it easier to make decision as an A&R looking for quality music, while relating to upcoming artists.

Remaining true to his beliefs, Frankie is an individual that redefines mainstream popular culture. It has been expressed that many find inspiration, faith and credibility in the industry through him. Yet what is even more impressive is the impact he leaves on lives all over the world. He once said, "Don’t just be anybody, be somebody," reminding all that have experienced Frankie, that they too are somebody.
These are more than words; they are affirmation of what has happened since 2000 for Frankie.
What began as a dream at the age of 18, is now making history for all to watch and be a part of. Frankie’s mission has been to take the “Road Less Traveled”, always learning and growing with his ventures. He hopes to motivate the next generation of artists in all genres and use his life experiences to influence the direction of the music industry towards a more personal and deeper form of expression.

What he has learned from the music industry landing him in new business ventures, and the new name, Frankie Jenkins. He stepped out on his own with his first venture with Curves of Colors in 2014. Curves of Color is “a sense of empowerment for all shapes, colors and sizes of women. It’s a community of boosting the intellectual confidence in every lady. It’s the inner beauty of the mind, body and soul, which is a gift that should be cherished and appreciated as a whole. Women are the power house to society”, says Frankie.
Currently he is working with Rah Dalla, Owner of Dalla Management Group (DMG). Frankie, President and CEO of Entertainers of Entertainment (EOE) Management, has partnered with Rah and Susan Kochik. This will open up new doors for extraordinarily talented individuals, who portray natural and unique talents, to be handpicked and chosen by the industry for the global market. History of Elite forms of ENTERTAINERS will be given a fair opportunity to shine. However, EOE represents not only music, yet entertainment abroad.
Coming in 2016 is an independent line of fine silver, distributed by Frankie called The Real Dub Cal Jewelry. Also, keep a look out for clothing line by Frankie that will be sold in stores as well. And if that was not enough, in the works, he is working to create an underground music app which allows underground artists to connect with Frankie as an A&R to simplify the way artists are selected. This app will help you, the artist; get into the industry faster and with ease, providing more quality music in untapped talent.
Frankie leaves you with this to ponder, while wearing your game face, “Don’t limit your dreams when your visions are endless”. Remember, anything is possible if you just believeFor more information on Frankie Jenkins, check him out at:
