Name: Zak Arogundade (a.k.a. Ecco2K)

Age: 25

Hometown: raised in Stockholm (with his mother) and London (with his father).

Now Lives: in a two-bedroom apartment in Stockholm that he shares with a friend.

Claim to Fame: Mr. Arogundade is a member of the Drain Gang, a fashion-forward Swedish music collective known for its atmospheric rap. Music, however, is just Mr. Arogundade’s “youngest medium,” he said.

He is also a graphic designer (like his father) and started his first fashion brand, Alaska, at 16. His multidisciplinary endeavors have included designing for Eytys, a Swedish sneaker brand, and walking the Alyx runway show in 2018.

Big Break: Mr. Arogundade started what would become Drain Gang in 2013, with three childhood friends: Bladee, Thaiboy Digital and whitearmor. Known then as Gravity Boys, they soon began collaborating with another Stockholm collective called Sad Boys, who were making similarly experimental rap music, and began building a following, especially on Reddit boards like r/sadboys.

In 2018, Mr. Arogundade quit his day job at Eytys and recorded his debut solo album, “E,” released last November. “I’d been doing music for a few years by then, but I didn’t feel like I knew what to say and how to say it until that point,” he said.
