| |
| Henok Achido took his first step into the light in music in 2001. His |
| legendary feature on the two grammy winning song -Mina Hundar- became a |
| controversy on the Swedish hiphop scene, only at the age of 18. After |
| his guest appearance and touring all over Scandinavia, he still did not |
| create music consistently, due to personal reasons and lacking |
| motivation to persuade his own music career but that would took a huge |
| turn on the summer of 2006. |
| |
| Henok Achido was born Henok Meharena on the 5th of September 1982, |
| raised in a single parent home in the southern parts of Sweden. The |
| musical influence originated from his family, mainly his mother, uncle & |
| cousins, all huge music fans, which later persuaded him to purchase his |
| first vinyl with the weekly allowance at the age of 8. Although the |
| response for Henok was massive, he still did not feel satisfied with the |
| mind state and lacked maturity and the preparation to be the complete |
| musician he desired. After, Mina Hundar, Henok dropped out of high |
| school and moved to Stockholm to continue recordings but still did not |
| feel that his timing was right. However, that all changed in mid 2006. |
| |
| Henok Achido has always been known for having a strong character, plus |
| the combination of unique flow, determination, cockiness & inventive |
| word play describes Henoks Achido the artist best. In early 2006, Henok |
| recorded a song called 'Million Dollar Baby' that was a groundbreaking |
| change and took him back to the light of music. The song received |
| massive response and was featured in TV (MTV), Radio (P3), Skatefilms |
| (La Famillionaire, Aggressive sport commercial for Stadium), and |
| Compilation albums (Scandinavian Hiphop invasion (Fr), Nu Jerzey Devil & |
| BWS presents Hell Raiser vol.2 (US). The musicvideo for Million Dollar |
| Baby was directed by Tecle Street in the summer in 2006 and shortly |
| after Henok was signed to label DLX entertainment by co-founder Astma. |
| After being signed to DLX, Henok released an 8 track free download EP |
| called -That Fucking Guy The EP- in May 2007 that received more than |
| 35.000 downloads worldwide. Furthermore, In October 07, He was asked to |
| perform as supporting act for legendary rapper Rakims' European Tour but |
| unfortunately his tour was cancelled at last minute, however, Henok has |
| already a few artist under his belt as a supporting act such as Saigon |
| (US), DJ Drama (US), Willie Da Kid (US), Onyx (US) and Gangstarr (US). |
| |
| At this moment, Henok is recording his highly anticipated debut album |
| called Almaz Charming Child and did earlier this year also release 2 |
| free downloads called Henok vs The Prodigy.1 and 2, where he raps on the |
| legendary techno songs No Good & Magic people. The controversial songs |
| did receive more than 10,000 downloads and controversial discussion |
| regarding his flows' potential and placed his capacity beyond anything |
| else Sweden has ever seen before. The free download EP and songs did |
| also result in Henok starting to receive more attention overseas and was |
| just recently posted as new artist spotlight on two of the biggest U.S |
| hip hop blogs (www.realtalkny.net) and (www.youheardthatnew.com). 2008 |
| will be busy year for Henok Achido, at the moment he is recording his |
| album, doing interviews for websites, magazines and radio and has done |
| shows all over Sweden, France, Holland and Poland. Henok also came |
| second place on the Swizz Beatz competition organized by the Source |
| Magazine & Musicvideo20.com which will result in short coverage in next |
| edition of the Source mag. |
| |
| His first video from the debut album -Almaz Charming Child- called Can I |
| has just finished its recordings and premiered on TV a few weeks ago. |
| The video is created by 5 different directors, Senay, Kristoff Kolacz, |
| Tekle Street, Morgan R÷hl and Douglas Wahlberg and is already airing on |
| TV. |
