My name is Jeff Walker
Founder, Rhymecology®
I am an Educator, Writer, Music Artist, and Certified Mental Health Professional, with a Masters in Educational Psychology & Counseling. As the leading transformative Rhyme and Wellness Coach, I have been using lyrics to process pain and purpose for over 20 years. I created Rhymecology® ​​to help people express, discover, and create themselves through the study and power of hip-hop lyrics and culture. For Youth, through Rhymecology® as well as my virtual co-owned school, Pendulum Ink, I empower adolescents to express themselves, build confidence, and develop emotional literacy through the art and understanding of rap music combined with creative writing and self-expression.
