I thought about getting one of those really cool article type bios you see most artists with, but I think I'd rather just let you know a bit about me. Chicago is my home town although I was mostly raised in the suburbs. I started playing cello when I was 7 and played for 10 years, all classical, until I went to West Point. I have to say I was on the shy side, a nice guy who worked hard, played a varsity sport and did martial arts on the side. I really got into hip hop and started writing on my own, which helped all through my 4 years in Army. After being medically discharged I decided I'd get into the music business. I taught myself to produce and engineer and started writing and producing for people in Chicago. That led to meeting other people and eventually I'm writing music with Grammy artists and the top talent coming out of Chicago. All this time working on my own style and getting feedback from the talent I worked with. I started performing here and there, getting picked up in places around the country. (this is where i'm supposed to name drop but if you're really interested just look at my pictures) Testing to see if people are ready for the kind of music I want to write and perform. I think so. Finally, I'm ready to put out my own sound, my own story, my own person. So i'm here now. Still shy, probably one of the hardest things to get over. Evolving my music with the help of friends and fans. The artists i'v worked with are now some of my closest friends and we represent the next iteration of music to come out. You won't believe the talent that is brewing in Chicago.
one love,
kato
