Jarrett William Sorko (born July 28, 1991)^[1] is a Canadian comedian, musician and internet celebrity. Sorko released the song "Yo, I'm From Windsor Dude" in March 2011. As a result, Sorko received major press coverage^[2] in his hometown of Windsor, Ontario drawing attention to both the city and himself. Sorko took advantage of his creative writing and musical talent and has helped use the success of his viral video to create a promising comedy career for himself.^[3]

Personal life[link]

Jarrett Sorko attended Catholic Central High School in Windsor, Ontario. While at this school Jarrett achieved honour roll all four of his years and graduated at the top of his class. He was also very influenced by art and had his art on display in different galleries and museums.^[4] With high grades Jarrett was able to pursue both architecture and art in University for a year before dropping out because he wanted to follow other creative inspiration.^[5]

After dropping out of his program in University because his heart wasn't in it Jarrett began working full-time. After working for a while and the economy slowly declining Sorko became unemployed at the beginning of 2011.^[6] Due to his lack of cash and his life-long dream Jarrett decided to become a comedian. Since his early school days Jarrett had been playing guitar and piano so he decided to take his musical talent and combine it with his creative writing to create music that he says he hopes "put a smile on people's faces when they listen to it".^[7] In March 2011 Jarrett released his first recorded song "Yo, I'm From Windsor Dude" on YouTube and it became viral overnight. Many radio stations, newspapers and TV outlets picked it up.^[8] Jarrett helped put Windsor, Ontario on the maps with his viral video that reached over 40,000 views in the first few days.^[9]

Career[link]

After the overnight success of his "Yo, I'm From Windsor Dude" song Jarrett began writing and performing comedic and satirical songs full-time at comedy clubs. Jarrett became known for combining rap music and comedy. Jarrett was originally inspired by the antics and pranks of TV shows like Jackass and a lot of his early work reflects this.^[10] His friends describe him as someone who is never afraid to do anything no matter how preposterous the idea may be.^[11] Jarrett brought this socially crazy persona into his comedy trying to create a routine that is not only intellectual but also physically entertaining at the same time.

With much local interest in what he was going to do next Jarrett began working on writing and perfecting his comedy routine more and more and performing at every chance he was given. This has helped him become one of the best known comedians in Windsor, Ontario. To keep interest high in his comedy Jarrett began working on his Thug Life mix tape which was released in September 8 of 2011.^[12] The release of the mix tape and the songs on it gave a new perspective to the music Sorko was beginning to create. He stepped away from the purity of his "Yo, I'm From Windsor Dude" song and began to touch upon more political and comedic ideas that could reach a world-wide audience as opposed to his Windsor based music and comedy.^[13]

As of right now Sorko has been said to be working on new songs that will be released on YouTube as well as working on an hour long comedy routine that he hopes to take on a Canadian comedy tour.^[14] There is rumour that Jarrett has been in contact with Just for Laughs Canada talking about setting up this tour. As of right now Jarrett does not have a booking agent as he takes care of all the booking himself.^[15]
