His talent is undeniable and he brings down the house every time he grabs the mic, he’s the truth,” exclaimed Griffith.

It’s only a matter of time before everyone will know who he is, he’s that talented. “ Growing up in Arroyo Grande a suburban town on the California central coast was a far cry from the lights of Hollywood. While being raised surrounded by the conservativeness of his community, KO discovered his knack for wordplay and ear for music, gaining diverse writing influences from Michael Jackson, MC Hammer, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Notorious B.I.G, Nirvana, 2pac, the Smashing Pumpkins and more.
