Henok Achido took his first step into the light in music in 2001. His

legendary feature on the two grammy winning song -Mina Hundar- became

a controversy on the Swedish hiphop scene, only at the age of 18.

After his guest appearance and touring all over Scandinavia, he still

did not create music consistently, due to personal reasons and lacking

motivation to persuade his own music career but that would took a huge

turn on the summer of 2006.



Henok Achido was born Henok Meharena on the 5th of September 1982,

raised in a single parent home in the southern parts of Sweden. The

musical influence originated from his family, mainly his mother, uncle

& cousins, all huge music fans, which later persuaded him to purchase

his first vinyl with the weekly allowance at the age of 8. Although

the response for Henok was massive, he still did not feel satisfied

with the mind state and lacked maturity and the preparation to be the

complete musician he desired. After, Mina Hundar, Henok dropped out of

high school and moved to Stockholm to continue recordings but still

did not feel that his timing was right. However, that all changed in

mid 2006.



Henok Achido has always been known for having a strong character, plus

the combination of unique flow, determination, cockiness & inventive

word play describes Henoks Achido the artist best. In early 2006,

Henok recorded a song called 'Million Dollar Baby' that was a

groundbreaking change and took him back to the light of music. The

song received massive response and was featured in TV (MTV), Radio

(P3), Skatefilms (La Famillionaire, Aggressive sport commercial for

Stadium), and Compilation albums (Scandinavian Hiphop invasion (Fr),

Nu Jerzey Devil & BWS presents Hell Raiser vol.2 (US). The musicvideo

for Million Dollar Baby was directed by Tecle Street in the summer in

2006 and shortly after Henok was signed to label DLX entertainment by

co-founder Astma. After being signed to DLX, Henok released an 8

track free download EP called -That Fucking Guy The EP- in May

2007 that received more than 35.000 downloads worldwide. Furthermore,

In October 07, He was asked to perform as supporting act for legendary

rapper Rakims' European Tour but unfortunately his tour was cancelled

at last minute, however, Henok has already a few artist under his belt

as a supporting act such as Saigon (US), DJ Drama (US), Willie Da Kid

(US), Onyx (US) and Gangstarr (US).



At this moment, Henok is recording his highly anticipated debut album

called Almaz Charming Child and did earlier this year also release 2

free downloads called Henok vs The Prodigy.1 and 2, where he raps on

the legendary techno songs No Good & Magic people. The controversial

songs did receive more than 10,000 downloads and controversial

discussion regarding his flows' potential and placed his capacity

beyond anything else Sweden has ever seen before. The free download EP
