Ecco2k

Zak Arogundade Gaterud (born October 23rd, 1994), known professionally as Ecco2k, is a British-Swedish artist, model, designer, director, and founding member of Drain Gang. Ecco2k started making music since 2012 under his current alias. Ecco2k doesn't limit himself to just being an artist and has been known to produce and direct music videos as well as take part in several businesses as a designer/founder, namely Eytys and his own product line, g'LOSS.

Ecco'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.
