Early life

Tablo was born in Seoul, South Korea on July 22, 1980. His family relocated several times to Indonesia, Switzerland and Hong Kong for his father's career until Tablo was six, when his family returned to South Korea. His family again moved to Canada when he was eight. Tablo attended St. George's School until he was expelled with a trouble at grade 9. Tablo again returned to Seoul and spent three years in Seoul International School. Tablo was a coterminal student at Stanford University, he attained a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and Master's Degree in Creative Writing. Tablo started to play the piano when he was six, and switched to violin, which he played for 10 years. his music teacher, who is a pupil of Isaac Stern, used to lecture Tablo saying "Music is communism, but you're playing democracy". However, he ceased to play violin as he was dismissed from the orchestra after suddenly playing the soundtrack of Jurassic Park while the orchestra was playing Brandenburg Concerto No.3 in a concert. In 1999, when he was in high school, Tablo wrote the lyrics to Kim Gun Mo's song Rainy Chiristmas, as Kim offered Tablo after reading his poem.

During early life, Tablo suffered from bouts of depression, the origins of which are unknown. Through these times of hardship, hip hop music served as an outlet for him and after his interest sparked later in life, Tablo decided to make hip hop the focus of his career. Tablo's father was adamant that he not embark on such a course, fearing that his son would endure the same hardships that he had suffered in his own youth. Tensions arose in the family and as a result of these, Tablo frequently tried to escape and leave home. Eventually, he accepted his father's wishes and began to forget about music, ostensibly asking a friend to live out his own wishes to be making hip hop music. This same friend died of cancer sometime afterward, thus serving as an impetus for Tablo to re-enter the music industry at the behest of his dying friend. While he was in the university, Tablo associated with an underground hip hop group 4n Objectz for three years.

Musical Style

Tablo claims to have been a long time fan of hip hop music, citing an almost lifelong affair with the culture itself. While listening to hip hop at an early age through artists such as Run-DMC and acquiring Cold Crush tapes, he concurrently gained recognition as a rhymer. His major and enduring love affair with making hip hop music was sparked later in life, however; after hearing Drunken Tiger rapping, the group "Epik High" was formed in 2000 at an early time in the culture's local evolution. Tablo has since claimed to be the first emcee to have used the "rhyming rifle" technique. With the hip hop scene in Korea and Korean emcees being known for their fickle tendencies, Tablo has through the years kept alive his legacy and career through numerous shows, appearances on influential overseas (American most notably) hip hop artists work, such as EPMD, and now plans to release a solo album within the near future.
