K-Otix

Consists of Damien and Micah "Big $ Mic"

Born and bred in the southern
comforts of Houston, Texas, the crew known as K-OTIX speaks in the
universal language of music and translates their message to all corners
of the world. They have become the picture of self-determination and
the entrepreneurial spirit by taking their common love of hip hop and
transforming it into a musical force that permeates the hearts and
souls of music lovers across the globe.

K.O. was formed in 1992
when high school classmates Mic and Damien realized their common
musical interests. They spent the next several years honing their craft
in anticipation of sharing the fruits of their labor with the rest of
the world. The "K.O. sound" is probably best described as a crossroads
between the commercial viability of today's mainstream artists and the
profound musicality of yesteryear's greats. Their influences,
encompassing all times and genres of music, are noticeably apparent in
their music.

Becoming increasingly non-conformist over the
years, K-OTIX is cutting deeper and deeper against the grain to deliver
a message that needs to be heard, rather than repeating what has
already been said. Their most popular single to date, "World Renown",
echoes these very sentiments through out the song, punctuating each
undesirable aspect of music with "we don't do that shit, can't do that
shit, never do that shit..." In fact, many of the listeners in their
global audience have proclaimed K.O. as a group that people will have
to listen to in years to come. They present their real-life personas
unabashedly and unapologetically. K.O. see themselves as extensions of
their audience, the mouthpiece for those without a voice, and the
future of music.

Since 1992, K-OTIX has had little time for
rest, since their full-time schedules and pastime passions often
coincide. The group has a rather extensive resume of performances,
including several trips to the South By Southwest music conference in
Austin, TX and a number of performances across the U.S. In 2001, K.O.
went on tour in Japan with DJ Cash Money to promote their Universal LP,
and have since toured Europe twice. They have shared the stage with
such acclaimed artists as: KRS-ONE, Talib Kweli, Blackalicious,
Outkast, The Roots, Common, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, Ras Kass,
Hieroglyphics, Black Eyed Peas, and many others. In 2003, K.O. even
opened for the Roc The Mic Tour in Houston, TX. They completed a tour
of Japan with DJ Cash Money in April 2001, and toured much of Europe in
2002, 2003, and 2004. K-OTIX is currently preparing to release their
recently completed 6th album, "The Reason".
