Don Kikong

Always working and in to somethin as a Musician, the stream of musical blood runs in my family. I am a drummer and I started playing at the age of two and still going. I mainly focus on reggae/dancehall/funk/grooves etc..I am at first hand a drummer and secondary bass player. I also play guitar, keyboards and percussion and I'm pretty much self taught but due to my capabilitys I attended eight years in music school. At the age of 8 in the mid 80:s I started breakdancing and quickly got involved in Hip Hop culture. At an early age of 13 i started MC'ing and was mostly a freestyle MC often backed on the wheels by DJ Kwartz. I used to love battling on the mic and at that time and later I amongs others would consider myself one of Swedens #1 battlecats.To mention a few collaborator; Dj Kwartz, Dj D-Lite, DJ Mainee, Sherlock (Speedy, Pee-Wee, Seb-Roc, Thomas Rusiak, Infra-Red, original Natural Bond) Ken, Big Fred, Joel a.k.a. J-Sweet, Low key dwellaz, Bleedz the chineese negguh, AFC, DJ Taro, DJ Will Rock...etc.By the mid 90:s, I was amongs others, the founder of the Roots Defenders reggae band alongside Henrik (bass) Emiliano (guitarr at that time) and me at the drums. Later on, Donny Dread bacame a part of the band as lead singer with his distinctive vocals and the band was a underground success anywhere it set foot. After a few years of differances of wills with the Roots Defenders, I was offered a space with legendary swedish reggae band, Natural Way to be their backbone as a drummer and I continued playing with the band for some 8 years until the band formally split up after a 20 year period of classic roots reggae.Along this period I also recorded alot of underground stuff with various Dj's, MC's and bands. My roots are deep in this Hip Hop thing. Iv'e been reppin since early 90's and been supporting act for groups such as; Afrika Bambaata (twice), Public Enemy, Group Home, 8 off the Assasin a.k.a. Agallah the Don Bishop and so forth and the story has not ended with this...Check out my great uncle at www.clarkterry.com. I've also got three nieces playing for the french philharmonic orchestra. Another distant cousin of mine is Michael Jordan, yeah that's what it is! The Harrell, Mims & Jordan and Terry family stretches across borders n seas.At the moment I am in the final stages of building my studio so soon there will be more fiya aswell as an artist page where you will be able to hear some of the music I will be making. Ya dig!!
