简介

EK (born Daniel Ibeh, May 4, 1990, in Lagos, Nigeria), is a Boston based rap artist. After migrating to the United States in 2001, EK found it hard to adapt to a life with so many cultural differences. He found the universal voice of music as a comfort and connection to the ever changing road that lay ahead of him. Making a promise to himself to always follow his dreams, EK uses his love of words to tell his story. His first mix tape “Road 2 Stardom” was released in the winter of 2008, and his follow-up project “Radio Friendly” debuted in May 2011. The lead single Mr. Politician was a thought-provoking track that reflected on the political climate in America. He is currently working on his EP Hands of Time, which is scheduled for release in Summer 2015. In 2013, EK officially signed with Defend Music based in Los Angeles, a record company that has sold more than 20 million units worldwide. EK’s compelling track "Mean Ol Town" was featured in "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete", a critically-acclaimed feature film starring Jennifer Hudson in the lead role. Currently, EK is collaborating with Ryan Sparker, the co-writer of Eli Reed's album "Nights Like This". EK regularly appears at music venues throughout the Boston area including Church, the Strand Theater, and Bentley College. EK's music has been broadcast on radio stations including 88.9 WERS in Boston, and he has appeared on BNN TV's "Shine" program. EK says, "I want my music to tell my life's story and speak of my challenges adapting to a world that knows how to stop dreaming. I want to be an example to young people that dreams can come true!" Growing up in Nigeria, EK realized he was always an outgoing child, able to articulate himself through his words. At the age of 10, EK moved to the United States. Living in an unfamiliar land, he connected with the wrong crowds and constantly struggled to defend his heritage. EK was arrested at 14, and the shocks of possible imprisonment made him realize that he needed to change his ways and find another outlet for his emotions. EK took out a pen and paper and began to write. His lyrical expression helped EK make his transition into manhood. From that point on, EK started to identify himself as rap artist and desires to influence today’s youth in a positive way. His music also helped him develop a spiritual balance within his life, and ultimately it made him the grounded man he is today. EK challenges himself everyday to practice his craft and exercise his passion. Over time, he found himself naturally memorizing his words and putting them to beats.

EK says, "If people open their hearts and minds to my music they will hear my story, and something will resonate in their souls."
