He's a bit of an elusive artist, but at the same time, his fans absolutely adore him for his raw lyrics and big sound.

Background

Ekoh's love of music began in a way many kids of his generation can relate to: Through skateboarding videos.

Whether it was hearing Iron Maiden for the first time through a Jamie Thomas part or by hearing underground rappers through Chad Muska, the seeds of his music taste was planted through the eclectic taste of skateboarders.

However, he also fell in love with the rock and alternative music of the time as well, including Linkin Park and AFI.

Since then, he has been able to perform and rub shoulders with some of his heroes, including Tech N9ne, Wu Tang Clan, and Sage Francis just to name a few.
