The Orator of the Pacific Northwest. In an industry of carbon copies, One Kahleo stands as a singular force of creative autonomy. He is the writer, the director, the producer, and the talent—a true Renaissance man of the digital age. Mastering the lens as a videographer and the console as a self-taught engineer, he constructs his art frame by frame and bar by bar, ensuring that the vision remains uncompromised from the notebook to the speaker. His narrative is forged in the fires of Tacoma, navigating the shadows of abuse and street politics to emerge as a pillar of his community. But One Kahleo isn’t interested in glorifying the struggle; he is interested in analyzing the system that created it. His music is a fusion of genre-bending soundscapes and brutally honest lyricism, offering a voice to the voiceless and a challenge to the complacent. From the block to the boardroom, One Kahleo is proof that the most powerful stories are the ones we write ourselves.

With my skills obtained over the past 2 decades, I aim to create new sound, and even a whole new genre that will reshape how music is understood. I spend my time creating new sonic sensations clashing genres of all scapes, from the creation of “Anchovies & Ice Cream” to our soon-to-be realized products and upcoming album “Noir”. I work for “Dust Gang records” as a musical consultant, production, and musical consultations/ marketing/branding department for “Budo kiba” record label and create my own music as “Palu,” from “Paluyota,” and "Abbott”. Having connected with artists such as “the Internet”, “Clerel”, “Wayne Tennant”, “Paul Cargnello”, “Khudo soul”, "Uni-G" even “Edo Lee” (one of the forefathers of Low-fi), the musical platform has become my outlet towards connecting with greater artists.
