KO-C developed penchant for music by penning down lyrics in the form of texts and sending to friends. He was extolled by his peers for his musical dexterity and dance moves. Back then, he gained repute as a dancer in Kumba.

KO-C is the acronym for “Knock-out Christian”. He started his career chanting gospel tunes.

At the age of 20, KO-C recorded his first song dubbed “Town player”. He met reggae/dancehall and rap sensation Dready Christ and Tee (Tread stone) and established a strong working relationship with them . Dready, Tee and KO-C went on to create the trio PIM Boys (Preach it Movement Boys) . The group membership increased composing Pee, Dready Christ, Ko- C, Bengis, Bauxi and Tread Stone.

THE RISE OF KO-C
