Henok Achido took his first step into the light in music in 2001. His
legendary feature on the two grammy winning song -Mina Hundar- became
a controversy on the Swedish hiphop scene, only at the age of 18.
After his guest appearance and touring all over Scandinavia, he still
did not create music consistently, due to personal reasons and lacking
motivation to persuade his own music career but that would took a huge
turn on the summer of 2006.
Henok Achido was born Henok Meharena on the 5th of September 1982,
raised in a single parent home in the southern parts of Sweden. The
musical influence originated from his family, mainly his mother, uncle
& cousins, all huge music fans, which later persuaded him to purchase
his first vinyl with the weekly allowance at the age of 8. Although
the response for Henok was massive, he still did not feel satisfied
with the mind state and lacked maturity and the preparation to be the
complete musician he desired. After, Mina Hundar, Henok dropped out of
high school and moved to Stockholm to continue recordings but still
did not feel that his timing was right. However, that all changed in
mid 2006.
Henok Achido has always been known for having a strong character, plus
the combination of unique flow, determination, cockiness & inventive
word play describes Henoks Achido the artist best. In early 2006,
Henok recorded a song called 'Million Dollar Baby' that was a
groundbreaking change and took him back to the light of music. The
song received massive response and was featured in TV (MTV), Radio
(P3), Skatefilms (La Famillionaire, Aggressive sport commercial for
Stadium), and Compilation albums (Scandinavian Hiphop invasion (Fr),
Nu Jerzey Devil & BWS presents Hell Raiser vol.2 (US). The musicvideo
for Million Dollar Baby was directed by Tecle Street in the summer in
2006 and shortly after Henok was signed to label DLX entertainment by
co-founder Astma. After being signed to DLX, Henok released an 8
track free download EP called -That Fucking Guy The EP- in May
2007 that received more than 35.000 downloads worldwide. Furthermore,
In October 07, He was asked to perform as supporting act for legendary
rapper Rakims' European Tour but unfortunately his tour was cancelled
at last minute, however, Henok has already a few artist under his belt
as a supporting act such as Saigon (US), DJ Drama (US), Willie Da Kid
(US), Onyx (US) and Gangstarr (US).
At this moment, Henok is recording his highly anticipated debut album
called Almaz Charming Child and did earlier this year also release 2
free downloads called Henok vs The Prodigy.1 and 2, where he raps on
the legendary techno songs No Good & Magic people. The controversial
songs did receive more than 10,000 downloads and controversial
discussion regarding his flows' potential and placed his capacity
beyond anything else Sweden has ever seen before. The free download EP
and songs did also result in Henok starting to receive more attention
overseas and was just recently posted as new artist spotlight on two
of the biggest U.S hip hop blogs (www.realtalkny.net) and
(www.youheardthatnew.com). 2008 will be busy year for Henok Achido, at
the moment he is recording his album, doing interviews for websites,
magazines and radio and has done shows all over Sweden, France,
Holland and Poland. Henok also came second place on the Swizz Beatz
competition organized by the Source Magazine & Musicvideo20.com which
will result in short coverage in next edition of the Source mag.
His first video from the debut album -Almaz Charming Child- called Can
I has just finished its recordings and premiered on TV a few weeks
ago. The video is created by 5 different directors, Senay, Kristoff
Kolacz, Tekle Street, Morgan Röhl and Douglas Wahlberg and is already
airing on TV.

continents and the breakthrough of his music career is one song away.
