CANADIAN MUSIC FEST 2010 & CBC RADIO 2 PRESENTS: K-OS


CANADIAN MUSIC FEST 2010 & CBC RADIO 2 PRESENTS: K-OS

Thursday, March 11, 2010 at The Opera House - Tickets On Sale
Canadian Music Fest 2010 and CBC Radio 2 are proud to present k-os live in concert at The Opera House on Thursday, March 11.

k-os is a genuine neo-crossover rap n’ roller who’s music speaks to hipster club kidz, pop chart gazers, Canadian indie rockers, dirty south electronic rap renegades, or reggae rude boys simultaneously. His latest and fourth album, Yes!, is a danceable pop album in the classic sense, leaving behind much of the social commentaries present on his previous albums. The first single “4321”, as its title slyly suggests, was intentionally recorded as a rap response to his friend Feist’s Grammy nominated “1,2,3,4” hit. “Uptown Girl” features who k-os considers to be two of Canada’s “greatest lyricists”, Metric’s Emily Haines and The Dears’ Murray Lightburn. The newest single, “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” features Saukrates and Nelly Furtado.

Having to his credit two certified platinum-selling albums (Joyful Rebellion, Atlantis) and one gold one (Exit), he’s also won multiple Juno Awards (2003, 2005), MMVA’s (Much Music Video Awards, 2004), Canadian Urban Music Awards (2003, 2004), a Source Award for Best International Hip Hop Artist (2003), and even garnered a Grammy nomination in 2005 for his collaboration with the Chemical Brothers on “Get Yourself High”.

The concert will be recorded by CBC Radio 2 for broadcast on “Canada Live”, CBC’s national radio program, delivering the best recordings and performances from Canada’s concert halls, music clubs and festival stages.
