KERO ONE - BIOGRAPHY
Former web designer by day and rapper/producer/DJ by night, Kero One, stands as a true testament to the do-it-yourself success story. His early career was marked by endless hours of researching, cold calling, and networking to gain exposure for his debut, self produced project Windmills of the Soul. Persistence paid off with a little help from fate when one of the 50 copies of his album was picked up in a tiny record store in Tokyo, Japan. Success was immediate, as Windmills of the Soul became a hit overnight, which opened the floodgates for international touring and performance opportunities.
Three years later, after a Best Hip Hop Album of 2006 award, collabo with Talib Kweli and support from super producer Will.i.am, Kero One is back with his sophomore album entitled Early Believers. Modulating from soulful jazz tinged tracks to upbeat synth-driven party bangers, Kero One features some his favorite vocalists such as Giles Peterson protégé UK singer Ben Westbeech, Finland's answer to modern soul, Tuomo and Portland's Ohmega Watts showcasing Kero One’s growth and maturity as a writer, composer, vocalist and arranger.
