SHOWCASE: Ko

Ko Kapches was raised in the Queen and Broadview area in Toronto. At 14 years-old, after falling into using and selling a wide variety of drugs, he soon found himself on an odyssey of rehabilitation centres across the United States.

Ko spent much of his time with friends in small studios, crafting his talents as a rapper while beginning to write songs and playing guitar. Ko began to develop his own unique style he refers to as both urban funk and urban folk. Ko’s eclectic taste is reflected in the originality of his organic sound.

"I want people to turn their heads — love it or hate it," Ko says of his craft. "People say, 'Where can I get your CD? I've never heard this kind of stuff.'"
