KnoCurio somewhat came to be by pure accident. Having schooled together for five years it was not until leaving that KNOwledge and Curio came together; the initial reason being as a means of combining their skills in creating a website, but over time this idea developed into one of Birmingham’s finest rap duos slash production teams.
KNOwledge also known as ‘The KNO’, dubbed himself KNOwledge as a means of expressing his aspirations and the continual hunger to better himself in all aspects of life. It also illustrated the style of conscious rap that was at that time a forté of his, rapping knowledge. He was born September 9th 1988, in Blantyre, Malawi and moved to Birmingham, England at the age of four. This is where he grew into the artist he is today, obtaining great levels of inspiration in life from his single mother. Having had mild fantasies of becoming a rap artist it was not until the age of fourteen that he became serious aspiring to the likes of Nas, AZ and Common. Writing was an everyday thing at this stage and this lead to the development of his now poetically expressive rap style although this is now often commercialised. Having been writing constantly he felt the need to combine lyrics with music, and began producing at the age of 16 attempting to develop his own style of production.
The word curio means a piece of art, something unusual which is worthy of collecting for its rareness. These qualities possessed by Curio are what lead to his name. He is also known as ‘Da Illest Artefact’, the word “artefact†referring to his lyrical mind producing a weapon for a lethal delivery.
He was born on the 8th of February 1989 in Birmingham, England, as the youngest of three children. Surrounded by music from a young age including many classical tracks from the 70s, it was not until the age of 16 that the whole Hip Hop game seemed to fall into his life. Initially it was a mere curiosity to write lyrics but he then came to realise that he may have possessed an unknown talent. He proved to be a fast learner. Having only been rapping a year and a half to date he has developed at an alarming rate. His progression has shocked many individuals that surround him and he is always looking to better his skills. The lyrics can be described as a poetic combination of emotion and lethal deliveries.
As well as being blessed with a talent for rap Curio also possesses an impeccable eye for design. KnoCurio have used this to their advantage to create all of their promotional material and as a source of revenue to sponsor the movement of KnoCurio. This website created by Curio is a clear indication of his design skills. All of Curio’s design follow his rule that “simple is more!â€
Both KNOwledge and Curio are highly talented and are determined to succeed in music. Their debut release, “Efficacious Dynamiteâ€, illustrates the intense qualities that the duo possess as rappers producers and song writers and they hope to continue moving on from here.
KnoCurio can be viewed as perfectionist as they feel they have never reached their peak. As far as writing and producing skills are concerned, they are hard to match with any outside the KnoCurio circle of producers and writers.
As far as business is concerned for KnoCurio, they specialise in the production of hip hop and R&B, as well as UK grime. They also offer ghost writing services for artists who have vocal talent but require a medium to bring there expressions to light. As well as offering artists the musical side of things, they also offer design services ranging from CD covers to web design and covering all promotion material.
