Music Career
Around 2004 K-Man, along with fellow Sierra Leonean youth Underground rappers C-Jay and Camouflag, formed the Freetown based Hip Hop group called Conscious Knowledge, more commonly known as CK. The group released their debut hit single called Africa in the paradise compilation volume 1. K-Man's soft voice and densely packed rap lyrics came to be recognised and he quickly rose as the most prominent members of the group.
K-Man left Freetown for neighboring Conakry, Guinea to develop his music in late 2004. While in Guinea K-Man worked with several prominent Guinean rappers including Bill De Sam and Sierra Leonean-born Guinean reggae musician Daddi Cool.
With enough time at his disposal, the Mandingo young star K-Man decided to go solo. This would mean doing all eight tracks in his debut album "watch u back" alone. Songc like Bombat and Watch your back became hits in Sierra Leone Guinea and The Gambia.
His second album "Let We Make Salone" (let's build Sierra Leone) was internationally successful in West Africa and within the Sierra Leone community abroad. The album helped to rebuild the image of country and build confidence in the international community that Sierra Leone is peaceful and investor-friendly, a goal pursued by the Sierra Leonean government.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or career:
“The time was once, when thou unurged wouldst vow
That never words were music to thine ear,
That never object pleasing in thine eye,
That never touch well welcome to thy hand,
That never meat sweet-savored in thy taste,
Unless I spake, or looked, or touched, or carved to thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
