Kero One's rise in the indie scene owes its success entirely to his own efforts. The former graphic designer, who started his music career in 2003 with a self-released single "Check The Blueprints," amassed an international fan base early on. Since then, the Korean-American artist has set off to release four independent full-length albums, earning respectable success via iTunes charts. His latest single "R.I.P.," touches on the more contemplative subject of society's ills. The graphics-driven video takes the listeners to different locales as Kero unveils each scenery.
