QUOK is deservedly called the most atypical rap artist. He confidently entered the music arena in 2018 (before that, attempts to create suitable content were not so successful).
Childhood and youth of Vladimir Sorokin
The artist's date of birth is April 22, 2000. Vladimir Sorokin (the real name of the rap artist) does not reveal all the details of his personal biography, so today (2021) it is not known exactly where the young man was born.
At the age of 10, the guy, together with his family, moved to the Czech Republic. This period of life is also interesting because music quickly burst into the list of his hobbies. By the way, Vladimir studied at an American school. With Czech and Russian - things were "tight". Today he is fluent in Russian and English.
At an American school, he learned to play the bass guitar and studied jazz. After some time, the FL Studio digital station was in his hands. He dreamed of becoming the same charismatic psycho as Mike Patton.
By the way, Vladimir was brought up in a family whose members respected music. Parents adored the blues, and often listened to legendary works in the car. Brother Sorokin, shared his favorite tracks with Vladimir, thereby developing his musical taste.
His brother, a multi-instrumentalist and specialist in sound, literally "infected" Vladimir with the desire to try his hand at music. Then Sorokin became part of the school jazz band.
In his school years, a nickname “stuck” to him, which later served as a creative pseudonym - QUOK (read as KUOK). Under this nickname - he "hacked" in Minecraft.
Regarding the profession. Not so long ago, a young man entered a higher educational institution, choosing for himself the specialty "Movie Editing". He is already putting what he has learned into practice.
The creative path of the QUOK artist
It all started with a great love for electronic music. He has extended his love for this musical direction to this day. Having made a “entry” into the musical arena, he quickly realized that it was time to “change shoes”. Rap - seemed to the guy a more promising direction. According to the artist, in rap the rhythm of life is much faster than in electronic music.
He writes musical compositions, taking into account his emotional state, so it is possible that in some works one can trace some of the segments of the artist's life.
The debut tracks premiered in 2013. It was then that KUOK presented 3 pieces of music. The guy did not dare to share the material with the public for a long time. He was overwhelmed with excitement.
The LP Imaginary Places was released in 2015. The album is topped by 10 incredibly cool tracks. Of course, it was far from the level of a professional, so the songs did not hook the audience. A year later, he pleased the fans of his work with the premiere of two dozen works. Everything turned upside down in 2018.
The release of the EP "Binari" fundamentally affected the position of KUOK. Next came the release of the album Decadance.
A year later, a turning point came in the artist's creative biography. “I gained weight in the musical society. The fan base has grown." His discography was replenished with the collection Decadance-2.
In parallel with this, the performer and author of musical works also showed himself as a talented clip maker. Regarding clips, it all started back in the 5th grade, when Vladimir tried to shoot videos for Minecraft.
The list of top clips definitely includes the works: "Airplane Mode", "Booth", "Peer Pressure". In 2020, he presented the documentary KINO 2.
2020 was marked by the release of the LP. Within a week, the album was viewed by half a million users. Decadance 3 is the final chapter in KUOKA's trilogy of debut releases.
