Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago

Charles Jenkins AKA Dr. Chuck is a chart-topping artist, songwriter, and visionary whose music bridges gospel roots and R&B reinvention. A dynamic voice in both faith and culture, he’s earned 7 Billboard #1 singles, including the modern gospel classics Awesome (Gold-certified, 22 weeks at #1) and War, along with eight BMI Top Songwriter Awards and recognition as BMI’s 2025 Songwriter of the Year. For more than 20 years, Jenkins led the historic Fellowship Chicago, where he combined spiritual leadership with bold civic advocacy—helping pass Chicago’s Big Box ordinance to create thousands of jobs and restoring $30 million in healthcare funding for Illinois seniors. Now stepping forward as Dr. Chuck, he’s expanding his artistry into a new chapter inspired by R&B greats like Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Charlie Wilson, and the timeless Yacht Rock sound of the 1980s—an era when music defied genres and simply moved people. His latest releases carry that same spirit: joyful, soulful, and boundary-breaking, designed for church pews, dance floors, festivals, and beyond. At his core, Jenkins is driven by one mission: to uplift others through creativity, joy, and excellence—whether as an artist, songwriter, leader, husband, or father.
