South Korean-Canadian rapper Tablo has built a lengthy and diverse career both with his band Epik High and as a solo artist, songwriter, producer, and author. As the leader of Epik High, he was pivotal in helping Korean hip-hop go mainstream with breakout albums like Swan Songs (2005) and the chart-topping Remapping the Human Soul (2007). As Tablo began to show his range, acting in a popular sitcom and publishing a best-selling book of short stories, he was offered a solo contract by YG Entertainment and made his solo debut in 2011. The next decade saw him split his efforts between solo work and an Epik High revival that benefitted from the global interest in K-pop. He also collaborated widely, including popular tracks with Americans like Joey Bada$$ and Gallant, as well as the 2025 track "Stop the Rain" with BTS member RM.
TABLO has also released music as a member of Epik High.
