Critical
Praise for Kero One:
"Kero makes hip-hop that’s not incredibly experimental yet
it carries a consistently solid “kick-back-and-chill” type
of resonance." - Remix
Magazine
"Music Vibes: 9 of 10" - RapReviews.com
"The production on Early Believers is beautiful." - LeisureLab.com
"Kero relies on excellent production, live instrumentation and honest
lyrics from his point of view to make an album that flows from start to finish
and will most likely end the year in more than a few top ten lists." - Evolving
Music.com
Back from his tour of Japan, Kero One is excited to complete
the US leg of his tour in his native Bay Area. Kero will be performing at the Poleng
Lounge in the heart of San Francisco on Saturday, May 30th to celebrate
the release of his critically acclaimed album Early Believers.
Joining Kero on stage will be Vince C. (guitars/keys) and singer Dolores
Chavez. Released the first week of April, Early Believers is being
hailed as a strong sophomore full-length for Kero One, who has received praise
from not only artists such as Common and will.i.am but
many critics too. This concert will serve as the release party for Early
Believers, so Kero invites you to come celebrate his DIY success and
move to some hybrid hip-hop hysteria.

The
Background:
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 project Windmills of the Soul.
Persistence paid off with a little help from fate when one of the 50 copies of
his album was picked up in a tiny record store in Tokyo, Japan. Success was immediate,
as Windmills of the Soul became a hit overnight, which opened the floodgates
for international touring and performance opportunities. Three years later, after
a Best Hip Hop Album of 2006 award and collabos with Talib Kweli
and Mark
Farina,
Kero One is back with his sophomore album entitled Early Believers,
via his label,
Plug Label. Modulating from soulful jazz tinged tracks to upbeat
synth-driven party bangers, Kero One features some his favorite vocalists such
as Giles Peterson protégé UK singer Ben Westbeech,
Finland's own modern day "Stevie
Wonder," and Portland's Ohmega Watts. Early
Believers is available everywhere now. Web editors contact Michelle to speak
to Kero. |
