Candy Coated Killahz

Toronto duo Candy Coated Killahz bang out heavy-hitting crowd-pleasers. With gritty rhymes and bouncy pop hooks, they skillfully pull together the most irreplaceable elements of hip-hop, electro-pop, and dance anthems. It's a sound that is infectiously accessible yet fully genre-bending. It Factor, CCK’s debut full-length album, is a non-stop, all-night electro party. Front-girl/producer Tosha Dash and vocalist Icon the Anomali come to life in the first single, Playboy, a four-to-the-floor dance track combining deep, sweaty beats with irresistible lyrics and a fly hook. A nation-wide hit, Playboy has appeared in Tyler Perry's blockbuster film, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" and in several North American television series like Defying Gravity and Exes and Ohs. Tosha and Icon met in University while working at a downtown Toronto restaurant and first took the innovative sound of Candy Coated Killahz to the streets in 2007. Since, they’ve shared the stage with heavy hitters like The Roots, The Gza (of WuTang Clan), The Cool Kids, and performed at major events such as VirginFest, Canadian Music Week, Toronto International Film Festival, North by Northeast, Under Pressure World Graffiti Festival, and more. CCK's highly-anticipated sophomore album, is set to be released in spring 2010! Tosha Dash is the beat-making whiz kid behind the Candy Coated Killahz sound. Also a professional songwriter and classically trained pianist, Tosha is one of the few female producers in Canada - and the world. With her cheeky vocals and seductive charm, this German-Jamaican bad-girl works the dance floor hard. Nigerian-born Icon the Anomali brings his 90’s-inspired lyrical style and buttery voice to the duo. Also a talented visual artist, his musical style parallels his grimy, playful comic book creations and video game designs. Candy Coated Killahz continue to gain momentum, tearing up clubs and car stereos with booty-rockin' tracks and remixes from DJs across the globe. Catch them live in concert for a danceable, sweatable, unforgettable night! To Contact: Email: holla@candycoatedkillahz.com Website: www.candycoatedkillahz.com Myspace: www.myspace.com/cckillahz
