18岁的说唱歌手兼作曲家和制作人KOAD从2013年起就在父母位于San Fernando Valley的家中的车库里用圣诞礼物得到的一个beat pad开始制作音乐。2021的年他即将踏上新的旅程，发布单曲 "pots n' pans "作为以他为中心的厂牌KOGO成立的首个音乐创作项目。KOAD是一股不可遏制的狂热的创意力量，他的能量与创造力，从缝隙中渗入，紧紧抓住他所遇到的所有媒介。他的创造力，不仅体现在他音乐中，还体现在他在纸盘上涂鸦的歌词之中，体现在他的搭档毛绒玩具考拉Benjamin身上以及围绕Benjamin的各种周边之中，体现在他用父母的车库改装成的临时工作室的空间里，那里摆满了他的画、在白板上涂鸦的歌名，墙面挂满了从Jim Carrey的《The Mask》到Captain Underpants的童书插画等各种画作。在他的音乐中，他的创造力得以释放，他无与伦比的推动叙事的能力，以及他独一无二的迷人的歌曲制作和创作能力，使他能够将自己的一部分融入到作品中，使这两者密不可分。KOAD 不仅仅是一个人或者一个创造者，而是一个你可以生活、消费和寻求理解的完整的身临其境和不断发展的世界。 18-year-old rapper, singer, songwriter and producer KOAD has been making music in his parent’s garage in their home in the San Fernando Valley on a beat pad he got for christmas since 2013 and in 2021 he will embark on a new journey as he releases “pots n’ pans” as the first creative project from KOGO, his community centered art collective and label. KOAD is an uncontainable and frenetic creative force with ideas and energy seeping at his seams that latch onto any and all mediums that he comes across. Not only does his creativity manifest itself in his music, but also in the lyrics he scribbles on paper plates, in his partner and pet stuffed animal koala named Benjamin and the merch line he’s built around him, in his parents’ garage turned make-shift studio space filled with paintings he’s done, song titles scribbled effortlessly on the whiteboard, and moodboards with visual references ranging from Jim Carrey’s The Mask to Captain Underpants children’s books that fill the walls. In his music, his go-to outlet for his creativity, his unparalleled ability to propel narratives with his undeniably captivating production and songwriting that's so uniquely his own has allowed him to inject pieces of himself into his work that make the two inseparable. KOAD is not just a person or creative, but an entire immersive and evolving world that you can live in, consume, and seek to understand.
