Biography

Formed in Kingston, Jamaica in the early 1990s, T.O.K. quickly rose to fame under the mentorship of Richard “Shams” Browne. Their breakthrough came with the 2005 album Unknown Language, which spawned international hits like “Gal You Ah Lead” and “Footprints,” reaching notable positions on the Hot 100. The group achieved gold and platinum sales in Japan, with “Guardian Angel” topping the charts. After a hiatus, T.O.K. returned in 2023 under the new name “Tribe of Kings,” releasing singles like “NPLH (Home)” and “Sexy Time” to signal their comeback and upcoming world tour.

Described by The New York Times as “the world’s greatest reggae-dancehall boy band,” T.O.K., originally known as "Touch of Klass," gained recognition for their collaborations with industry heavyweights like Lady Saw and Major Lazer. Their 2001 debut album My Crew, My Dogs laid the foundation for a successful music career, leading to international stardom with hits like “Money 2 Burn” and “Shake Yuh Bam Bam.” T.O.K.'s evolution into Tribe of Kings marks a new chapter for the group as they prepare to reconnect with fans worldwide through their music and upcoming world tour.
