Biography
Kano (Kane Brett Robinson) is a British rapper, songwriter, and actor from East Ham, London, born 21 May 1985. He released five studio albums, with Made in the Manor becoming his most acclaimed project—shortlisted for the 2016 Mercury Prize and winning Best Album at the 2016 MOBO Awards. On screen, Kano played Sully in Top Boy across its full run from 2011 to 2023, a role that cemented his dual career in music and acting. As a male performer born under Gemini [F1, F3, enrichments], Kano embodies the sign's duality: articulate on the microphone and nuanced in character work. Life Path 4 [enrichments] suggests a builder—someone who constructs lasting projects methodically, which tracks with his album trajectory and sustained presence on one of UK television's most celebrated crime dramas. Rappers and actors often operate in separate spheres; Kano navigated both, maintaining credibility in grime while appearing in prestige television.
