[1] In his early teens Kano attended Langdon Comprehensive School in East Ham, Newham, where his mother still works.

His cousin Jonathan Fortune plays for Charlton Athletic.
His first track was "Boys love Girls". Kano first became known on the UK grime scene for his work with his original group, N.A.S.T.Y Crew (Natural Artistic Sounds Touching You). From this springboard he was signed as a solo artist and began work on his debut solo album.
He is signed to 679 Recordings and is a label mate of The Streets. He was also a key member in East London’s N.A.S.T.Y. Crew. However, since being signed to 679 recordings, he has now left N.A.S.T.Y Crew, and took Demon and Ghetto with him.
Home Sweet Home was a great critical success, from across the British press, most notably The Independent and The Observer, two creditable UK based newspapers. Many artists in the UK and US have expressed positive views of the album, including Busta Rhymes, Nas, RZA, Jay-Z, Andre 3000 and Chuck D of Public Enemy.
Towards the end of 2005, Kano also released a mixtape, Beats & Bars, which is currently only available at his concerts.
London Town was released on September 10, 2007, which included hit single, "This Is The Girl", featuring Craig David. London Town includes tracks featuring Gorillaz member Damon Albarn formerly of Blur, Kate Nash, Craig David, Vybz Kartel and Leo The Lion.
Kano is also releasing a special Deluxe Limited Edition that includes a DVD featuring a interview with Kano, This Is The Girl video and acoustic studio footage with Craig David.
Kano has now been dropped/left 679 recordings.

[2] Kano was a post-disco music project formed in 1979 by Italian-based producers/musicians Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. They were early producers of a style of Italian dance music called Italo-disco, a blend of 1970s disco and funk with the addition of synthesizers.
Kano's sound was first heard on radio stations and in dance clubs around the world with their debut hit single, 1980's "I'm Ready", from their self-titled debut album (which also included the minor hits, "It's a War" and the instrumental track "Cosmic Voyager"). The b-side of "I'm Ready", "Holly Dolly" used the same essential production elements. "I'm Ready" also peaked at #21 on the Black Singles chart. "It's a War" was also a big hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the U.S., reaching #2 for five weeks.
The project went on to record two other albums, including 1981's "New York Cake" (which included the minor hits "Don't Try to Stop Me", and "Can't Hold Back") and 1983's "Another Life" (including the title track and "I Need Love") which introduced West Indian-born singer Glen White. Their last song was 1985's "This Is the Night".
"I'm Ready" was later used as a sample on a few songs, such as Gigolo Tony's 1986 hit "Hokie Pokie" and Rofo's 1987 hit "Flashlight In A Disconight". The most well-known use of it as a sample is on Tag Team's 1993 hit, "Whoomp! (There It Is)". "Another Life" was remixed by Master Blaster featuring in their 2003 album "We Love Italo Disco". "Another Life" was also sampled in the 2005 track "Discopolis" by Lifelike & Kris Menace. "Ikeya Seki" was sampled by the French electro house artist Kavinsky for his track "Grand Canyon", which appeared on his 2007 EP, 1986.

Kano Lyrics
Some manors don't like me, they try and badmind me
When Kano comes to town
All I say is "mind's right", and they lose the limelight
When Kano comes around
Some try screw me or even sue me
But it don't work 'cos the crowd don't boo me
You ain't a true G, I'm too deep
How could Kano stay underground?
I ain't like most that roll around
And kick shit off, I hold it down
But we're still gully
The only 'pop' you'll hear from us is
POP POP POP, then we're out
Act up and get boxed in the mouth
'Cos, you're just playing a gangster
You ain't never weighed a ounce, fought a bouncer
You ain't never hid no blocks in your mouth
You ain't got love in North, West and South
And I'm an East boy, you're a chief boy
I finish it when you start the beef boy
Girls like me but I ain't a sweet boy, so boy
Don't think you can move to me and think I'll be asleep boy
'Cos I'm on my P's and Q's
That's why I make more P's than you's
Even when I'm in 3s and 2s, slip?
There ain't no reason to, slipping
If there ain't a blitz between the clique, that's slipping
No whip, out the manor linking chicks
That's slipping, that's slipping
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my P's and Q's
Even on my own tune
That's the difference between me and you
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my P's and Q's
Even on my own tune
That's the difference between me and you
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my P's and Q's
Even on my own tune
That's the difference between me and you
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my P's and Q's
Even on my own tune
That's the difference between me and you
I hate losing, so I ain't snoozing
From London to Luton, I'm moving
I'm even merking over seas
And I got it locked from London to Leeds
Please, from time you heard me shine
Now I'm big from London to Merseyside
You got lines but you spit like nursery rhymes
This year's gotta be mine, I'm the first in line
Wow, you got your first rewind
But the second line sounded like the first line
I ain't got punch lines, I got kick lines
And I ain't commercial but I got hit lines
I spit deep rhymes
But I got the girls on my side from the first rewind
You might see my face in a magazine
Or in a fur coat in FACE magazine
'Cos they're spreading the word down from raves that I been
And they're bringing the purse out to pay for my team
I couldn't give a shit, I'm breaking the scene
Making a scene then start making the cream
Seen? I got a gang with me
And we all walk with a gangster lean
You're all talk, you don't wanna rap with me
There's no jokes or no pranks with me
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my P's and Q's
Even on my own tune
That's the difference between me and you
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my P's and Q's
Even on my own tune
That's the difference between me and you
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my, P's and Q's, in sneaks or shoes
We're in a Honda, fuck it no Jeeps and coupes
We'll chief your crew, we're so hungry we'll thief your food
So mind out before you find out who you're speaking to
I speak to youths, on the level, and speak the truth
So please, there's thug in me
But there ain't no me in you
And please, you ain't bussin' one, let alone squeezing two
Say cheese, but it won't be a snapshot
Pull out and try and hit like the jackpot, leave
I ain't waiting around, baiting the town for K to be found
That's slipping, if there ain't a blitz between the clique
That's slipping
No whip, out the manor linking chicks
That's slipping, that's slipping
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my P's and Q's
Even on my own tune
That's the difference between me and you
If you see me and I ain't with my crew
Believe I'm on my P's and Q's
Even on my own tune
That's the difference between me and you
