Zak Arogundade Gaterud, better known by his stage name Ecco2K, is a British-Swedish singer, designer, model, director and member of Drain Gang from Hornstull, Stockholm. Known for his experimental and innovative songwriting as well as his androgynous vocal style, he has also been celebrated for his directorial and design endeavours at the brand Eytys as well as for his own product line g'LOSS.[1][2][3][4]
Arogundade's music is a blend of experimental electronic, pop, and rap, often featuring adventurous vocal and production decisions that are outside the norm for these genres. In both his music and visual work, Arogundade focuses on themes of emotion and self discovery, presented through industrial and technological aesthetics.[2][5][6]
His music video for "Peroxide" was filmed at the Lillgrund Wind Farm off the coast of Sweden.[7]
Personal life
His father is Ben Arogundade, a British-Nigerian writer and designer. His mother is a Swedish makeup artist. Arogundade was born in London, and grew up in the Hornstull neighbourhood of Stockholm from the age of 2.[1][2]
His father taught him to use graphic software at a young age, something that he cites as the impetus for his creative work.[2]
He started his first clothing label Alaska at the age of 16.[1]
