On his Facebook page, WA-based rapper T$oko proudly quotes: 'They say great men choose to let their lives be governed by their passion, rather than fall powerless at the mercy of their circumstances.'
Driven by the need to share his story and to rock the crowd in the process, T$oko is an emcee with wisdom and understanding beyond his years. This coupled with empathy for his audience and a respect for what they hear and feel, make him an artist worthy of your attention when he showcases at BIGSOUND.
Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, was never destined to be easy for T$oko. But the ‘easy’ things in life very rarely shape us or pre-determine our successes. T$oko – the emcee, the artist, the songwriter, the storyteller, the trailblazer – chose to walk the path less travelled and refused to abandon his first love: music.
“When I was young my older brothers and sisters used to blast music loud. So did my parents. We always had big parties and dancing competitions in my house,” T$oko reminisces.
T$oko, who will be featured on the latest single from Just A Gent, shares his love of sport, listing his top 5 sporting icons.
