Artist description
Music has been a part of my life, even before I couldn't read to well. My music background consists of a lot of instrument playing and poetry writing. I have been rhyming since the 7th grade. The best way to describe my style, lyrics, and vocals is " emotionally felt always ". |

Artist History
A-D-K ( Antonio Killion ) was born in Centralia, IL a small town down in southern IL. Antonio has always been involved with must in some way or another. At the age of 4, he started taking piano lessons and continued the lessong through his teenage years, he even added on more instruments: alto sax, tenor sax, and trumpet. But he became fond of hiphop/rap music at the age of 13, the first rappers that Antonio loved and just could not get enough of was " Bone Thugs N Harmony ", he studied, mastered, and memorized all their songs. Antonio still to this day has a deep emotional liking to the group, their messages, and how they deliver their vocals. But dont stop reading there, Antonio did not want to be a Bone Thugs N Harmony clone, he just wanted to meet them to give them thanks. After a year of practicing and listening to this group that were so unique Antonio met someone that would help shape his style, challenge his rhyming ability, and bring out the best in him. This young man's name was Dennis McGee ( Mr. Grimm, now know as Young Prophet ). These two worked hours day in and day out perfecting their style, increasing their lyrical vocabulary, and just stabilziing themselves. Antonio and Dennis practiced in a little bedroom with a stereo and a " Notorious Thugs " instrumental that was in midi format day after day. The dymaic duo made cheaply mixed trax on the computer, on a hand held recorder, and at low budget home studios for 3 years, and had finally built themselves a decent name by performing at local clubs, bar, parties, at basketball games in front of 500+ people, and talent shows. Now ADK is at the point where his album is near completion and he plans to push it across the whole midwest and hopefully it will land in the East, West, and Southern coast as well. Antonio hopes to make major moves with his new album and songs, you have to check out his live performances. That is what he is known for :) |
