Biography

Former web designer by day and rapper/producer/DJ by night, Kero One, stands as a true testament to the do-it-yourself success story. His early career was marked by endless hours of researching, cold calling, and networking to gain exposure for his debut, self produced hiphop project "Windmills of the Soul." Persistence paid off with a little help from fate when one album of the 50 copies… Read more in Amazon's Kero One Store

wow kero! your sh$t is f@ckin dope! --will.i.am.

Product Description

As an avid fan of Soul, Disco, Electro, and Brazilian beats, Kero One's vision is to create music that embraces these diverse genres without abandoning his hiphop foundation. The underground success of his 2006 self-released, produced, and written debut album, Windmills of the Soul, saw the top of iTunes charts, brought Kero One on world tours, and led to production work for household names like Talib Kweli and Mark Farina. Recently, he has also received major label attention and support from the likes of Will.i.am, EMMY award winner and producer of Estelle, who, after listening to Kero One's album, replied with a personalized video message saying: "Your sh%t is F%ckin dope Kero. I love it, I love it, I love it!" Now, nearly 3 years after Windmills, Kero One has returned with a mission to renew the sounds of modern hiphop by melding together bits of various genres of music. In the creation of Early Believers, his official sophomore release, Kero One has enlisted the talents of some of his favorite singers and vocalists such as Giles Peterson protg UK singer Ben Westbeech, Finland's answer to modern soul - Tuomo, and Portland's Ohmega Watts, to name a few. Pairing vocals with the warm tones of analog compressed drums, vintage synths, and live instruments, Kero One has

5.0 out of 5 stars You Must Listen., April 15, 2009
By 
This review is from: Early Believers (Audio CD)
Whereas Windmills was a candid shot snapped through a fuzzy Lomography lens, Early Believers is the masterfully crafted product of an SLR, where the image is sharper and the colors, more vivid. This sophomore album marks Kero One's arrival - a more polished album retaining the upbeat tempo and positive message without compromising its honesty. And the beats and the mixing of tracks are really where his multi-hyphenate "producer-writer-rapper, CEO of Plug Labe" skills come in handy. Positive without being saccharine, upbeat and uplifting while still vulnerable and introspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kero does not disappoint, April 7, 2009
By 
Romskiii (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Early Believers (Audio CD)
Change can be good. Kero definitely changes up his style on this effort. Its quite evident that he has more influences beyond just hip-hop, and this album is just good music that spans several genres. Perfect listening material for the coming spring and summer months.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Contender for album of the year, April 7, 2009
This review is from: Early Believers (Audio CD)
Listening to the album you can hear Kero is really doing something different and being himself with the music. The sound and feel has matured and improved via a lot of live instrumentation and polished musical arrangements. Even the flow, which has been a problem to some listeners, has improved greatly. Whether people like it or not they can't front and say the album isn't superbly executed.
