K.O biography

K.O was born to father Thembisile Mdluli and mother Jabulani Mdluli. While still an infant, the Ntokozo Mdluli family moved to Piet Retief in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. In the picture above, he is with his parents, three brothers, and two nephews.
Education
After his matric, he joined the Vaal University of Technology for a National Diploma in Public Relations Management. It was at Vaal that he met Ezee "Ma-E" Hanabe and Bantu "Ntukza" Hanabe, who would be his future bandmates. After graduating, he was unemployed for 2 years before his mother forwarded his CV to the South African Police Service, but he did not go for the interview. Instead, he preferred to work in public relations while pursuing his dreams of becoming a musician. His parents, who were very supportive of his dreams, funded his demos.
Career
In 2005, Ntokozo formed the band Teargas together with Ma-E and Ntukza whom he had met at university. The decision to link up was made as the trio knew each other’s style of music and were in sync with one another. Teargas released its debut fifteen-track album in 2006 titled K’shubile K’bovu, and it was an instant hit. Two years later, Teargas blessed us again with another album called Wafa Wafa that has sixteen songs, and the next year, a thirteen-track album titled Dark or Blue. In 2012, the trio released their fourth studio album, Number Number.
In 2013, K.O, together with Ma-E and marketing executive Thabiso Khati, formed the company Cashtime Life. Incidentally, K.O was the first artist to be signed by the label. Soon after, K.O Mission Statement was released, which is the first single of his first album. Unsurprisingly, the single was a massive hit in South Africa. In November 2014, the first K.O solo album containing 11 songs, Shkanda Republic, was released.
In 2016, Ntokozo released a much-anticipated single titled Don Dada together with Okmalumkoolkat. The K.O new album was released in 2017 titled SKR2. You may have noticed that Teargas has not featured much since the launch of Cashtime. That is because, according to the rapper, the group has taken a break from one another.

Cars
