KOF is one of the most successful & exciting singer-songwriters from Northern UK - with a superb live show, consistent support by Radio 1, 1Xtra & Choice FM as well as co-signs by top industry insiders, KOF is definitely earning his One To Watch status.

 Musically it may be best to describe KOF as a rapper/singer-songwriter who creates music that is a fusion of inner city music genres, new school flair and old school flavour, mixed with conscious lyrics and big beats. KOF’s talents lay not only in his unique and undeniable realism, but also in his soulful voice and melodic flow. Add that to his open and unrestricted approach to music and you can understand why he is considered a ‘breath of fresh air’ in the UK Music Scene.

Despite being classed by some as a ‘new artist’ KOF has already achieved consistent air play on stations such as BBC 1Xtra, Capital Network and Radio 1, and has opened up for international touring artists, in the process gaining a dedicated following; not only in the shape of his ever expanding fan base, but in respected music industry officials alike.

KOF’s developing buzz across the nation has led to kudos and support from the likes of Ras Kwame, DJ Target, Mistajam, Huw Stephens, Ace N Vis and many more and collaborations with Wiley, Sway, Wretch 32, Skinnyman, Rodney P, Curtis Lynch Jnr, Jaguar Skills and numerous top producers.

After a few years of breaking into the national Urban Scene through a series of 1Xtra playlisted tracks KOF raised his career further in 2009 with consistent radio play on BBC Radio 1 and co-signs by some of their top Djs such as Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Annie Mac and Ras Kwame. Further the summer saw KOF perform across the UK and Europe at some of the top festivals and events including Glastonbury, EU Music Days, Malmo Festival and HUB. In July 2010 KOF released his first single, 'Fire It Up', featuring UK Urban superstar, Wiley. The track was named MOBO Single of the Week and received strong support from Radio 1, 1Xtra, Choice, Juice FM and many others. Further the video received plays on MTV Base, Flava and Chart Show TV whilst in club world the track shot to no16 in the Commercial Dance Chart. KOF's follow up track, 'All Good' added to an already successful 2010 when it was playlisted by 1Xtra and garnered continued support from Radio 1, Choice and Juice. The video was a regular on Sky TV Music channels whilst in club land the song charted in the Top 40 of the Commercial Dance Chart.

After a busy and very successful 2010, KOF continued the good work with a new fresh live, soulful sound with the single 'Looking At Me'. In August the single was playlisted on BBC Radio 1Xtra, leading to multiple plays on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Capital Network, Choice FM, BBC Merseyside and more. The video for 'Looking At Me' was added to multiple TV playlists including MTV. The follow up, 'Be Like You', impacted in an even shorter time, receiving playlist support from BBC 1Xtra, Unity Radio, Radio Cardiff, KCC LIVE 99.8FM, Bang Radio and more, with significant support from BBC Radio 1, Capital Network, Rinse FM, MTV and more. It is understandably so, that as 2011 came to an end, KOF has been included on a number of Hot for 2012 lists. With forthcoming domestic and European project releases scheduled, a number of hot collaborations under his belt and a steadily increasing global fan base, 2012 will see KOF take his rightful position in the Industry. This is just the beginning.
