Ko-Ko – Duke Ellington

KO’s musical style borrows elements from hip hop, folk, rock, R&B and reggae. His songs mainly feature vocals and acoustic guitar played over hip hop beats and his sound has been compared to that of musician Everlast. Although he experimented with rapping early in his music career, he has stated in an interview that he wasn’t impressed by his own rapping ability and has focused his vocal efforts on singing.

KO is a fan of Nirvana and has cited Kurt Cobain as a musical influence _ “Kurt Kobain” is also the title of a single from his debut album. In the bio section of KO’s official website he also states that he is “still influenced by Toronto’s underground rap community” and lists Everlast, Kid Rock, Ani DiFranco, Thelonious Monk and Van Morrison as some of his favourite artists.

How to Learn The Piano Part

The first step to studying pop keyboard, is to learn the music notes of the keyboard and when to perform each one. Learning to read music is a skill you will have to develop eventually either to read tabs or even sheet music, and can greatly help you prepare more strongly for performances. It is possible to also begin to have an understanding of chords faster as you`ll recognize the tones quicker, and give you a head-start with any piano training method. Practice everyday so it is possible to learn about off of what you rehearsed the previous day.
