From the California bay area, Kero One is an artist who had been emceeing, producing beats, writing graff, deejaying/scratching and collecting records since the early 90's. At the age of 16, Kero would receive recognition from hiphop industry moguls such as Sway of the World Famous Wake Up Show and now MTV host. Still, without a public release, Kero would remain unknown. Then in the summer of 2003, Kero One released his first 12" record entitled “Check the Blueprints”, based on jazzy funk beats and metaphor heavy lyrics. Within a month of its release, positive reviews and recognition poured in from record stores, dj's, and record labels. In addition, “Check The Blueprints” reached top 5 spots on radio and deejay playlists worldwide from Dj's such as J-boogie, Jon Kennedy (Tru-thoughts UK) and Quantic. Several months after its release, Kero One was recognized by Japanese labels and promoters (Jazzysport.com) and invited to tour Japan in January of 2004, headlining shows with renowned deejays and producers such as Dj Mitsu the beats , Gagle, and dancers whom all had deep passion for music, art and hiphop culture. Currently Kero One is set to release his debut album in addition to production work for other artists such as Grand Puba, US3 and orchestrating a jazz/funk band.
