k-os on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos


CLICK HERE for the video.

About this Video:

k-os was born in Toronto and grew up in Whitby, Ontario. His parents raised Kevin as a Jehovah's Witness, where his father was a minister. So, Kevin went to church three times a week until he was 17. After that, he went to university, studied a number of subjects including music theory and dabbled in creating his own music. That led to a grant for a video and by the early 90's, he'd released a few singles. But Kevin was unhappy with the musical style and took some time off. By 2002, he released his debut record, a mostly rap centric album called 'Exit.' Two years later, he hit it big with his hip hop follow up album 'Joyful Rebellion' and 'Rolling Stone' called him a 'destined superstar'. Now, he's back with another record called 'Yes!'
