PK Biography

There are several artists called PK.

1) "Hailing from the central coast of California, PK was actually formed on the banks of the mighty Mississippi where the five kindred spirits met during a chance encounter with The "New Orleans" a fur trading steamboat headed for Jackson Mississippi. After much jubilation and rejoicing the group now calling their collective "PK" returned to their California homes in 2003 to write the Ghost EP. They then took two years to further their educations and then returned to storm the music scene in and around the Central and Northern Coast of California with late 2007's Casting Shadows."

2) pk, also known as Pekka Ketonen, is a Finnish electronic musician born in 1983, who started producing music with trackers in 1998. pk's music isn't restricted to any one genre, however is propably most known for his celtic-inspired new age tracks.

3) PK is a young rapper from a little country called Estonia. Being only seventeen years old, PK has earned the title as one of the youngest MC's ever entered Estonias official MC Battle. PK aka Joosep Vau, was born in the capital of Estonia, on the third of July, 1989. He always loved to sing as a kid and it hasn't changed towards today. Though he doesn't sing that much nowadays, but compiles rhymes often being considered better than many full grown MC's lyrics. PK started in the fall on 2003, imitating and looking up to local star Chalice. PK went by the name Under then. After learned end getting to know the hip-hop life a little
better, Under changed his name in November of 2004, to PK, which means Painduv Keel in estonian, translation - Flexible Tounge. That name was supposed to represent loyalty to the estonian language, be rememberable, catchy and it was to be a clue, that PK is going to murder with his flow from now on. After failed as an artist with Under, PK took much respectable sights to get to. He went from being a 14 year old kid, trying to be famous to being not so much older 16 year old youngster, doing what is right for him and what could
be called as underground hip-hop. Just after changing his name, he recorded a track, that was well known all over Estonia. The track was called "Tõrje" and featured production from a MC who had just realeased his first album, s'Poom. Slowly, but effectively, PK was invited to perform at underground hip-hop parties. In the spring/summer of 2005, PK entered the list of rappers, taking part of the official and biggest MC Battle of Estonia. He made it through the qualification round with a little trouble as he almost didn't get through
due to lousy judges as he was really killing it. He got to the main event though and murdered a local jokeartist Kemo. In the second round he went on with the most feared - Põhjamaade Hirm, and lost. Being the youngest MC battleing, PK earned a respectable 5-8.
place, being now recognized. He was one of the mc's who came together to form a crew called LHV. On with CutMasta', Daf and Feikii, he made several songs, a couple live performances and after that PK left the crew in the summer of 2006. In 2006 he entered the MC Battle 2006 and many people predicted that PK would win the contest. This wouldn't happen and he finished with the same position as 2005. Luck hasn't been exactly a lady but with inspiration from Mos Def, Hi-Tek, Atmosphere, Non Phixion, Dilated Peoples and especially Talib Kweli, PK keeps writing and recording his soloprojects for the outcome he wants, likes and respects himself. 17 years old now with many-many sleepless night to come, trying to make the best out of hip-hop inside of him. "Life isn't about music, music is life". In 2007, 27th of June PK suffered an attack and nearly died. Surviving the near-death experience, PK changed massivly and began to rise money much higher than before. He went through some serious days of hustling and trying to make money. He's LP "the Factory" is coming out in 2008 and features 23 songs and a lot of features. Allmost every beat in the
Factory is made by PK himself. He was verbally stoned for changing his style but he didnt care. He realized that most of the world is ran by money and deepness in the early stage of his life is completely pointless. Taking Lil' Wayne as an example, PK began to make his
lyrics much easier. His EP "Glassnails" never got released due to moneyissues that PK never wants to occur again. He has a lot on arguements in the Estonian scene due to him being finally open enough to express his opinion. No more good guy obviouslly. PK also started an indieband, which doesnt have a name yet. And dnb/house project with his DJ.

4) PK is the solo techno project of Phil Karneef, one half of Ghettonuns: http://www.last.fm/music/ghettonuns. He now goes by the name IPRC.
