- Comment: At least two of the sources appear to interviews of the subject, and "The general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source and is also non-independent material" (see WP:INTERVIEWS). As a minimum, the article needs significant coverage, by sources with reputations for fact-checking and accuracy (not passing mentions, not blogs, not routine coverage by events promoting his appearance, etc), that isn't interview-based and which report his achievements independently.I note that other editors have also raised a potential COI (see WP:COI), to which the main contributor to the article should respond on the article Talk page, in edit summaries and on their own user page (see WP:DCOI). Any COI materially relates to the neutrality and balance of the content.The article also includes no wikilinks to other articles (as such, it is a WP:deadend), and also embeds two external links, which should be removed per WP:EL.

- Comment: Content like "Penkow is known for his dedication to music. His commitment to creating authentic, heartfelt music is reflected in his songwriting and performances. While much of his life is centered around music and his career, Outside his music, Penkow is passionate about health and fitness" is entirely promotional do you have a conflict of interest here by any chance?
