"HeRo is a deep, intense, and compelling hip-hop artist who delivers his passion with style and grace. Inspired by greats like Nas and Eminem, he was rapping by age six and recording by age 12. HeRo is a nomad of sorts who spent his childhood constantly on the move and became both homeless and a father at age 15. His debut mixtape, No Hometown, dealt with these topics and put him on the path he now follows. 
Now a fully-formed solo artist, HeRo’s current music is designed to be a positive influence in the world and improve the mindset of all who encounter it. HeRo pursues music and fame to give himself a larger platform to make a positive impact on the world we all share. He writes intelligent and powerful music that’s always real and meaningful. Those seeking strong and lyrical hip-hop need HeRo in their ears on the regular. "

OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.
