conway k (red power squad)
welcome to the conway k red power squad page....hope you enjoy the online experience...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The Red Power Squad is a performing group from Edmonton Alberta Canada. Formed in early 1998 by founder Conway Kootenay, the RPS was designed to give innercity youth a way out of all the negativity that they faced on a daily basis.
Almost 10 years later the RPS has exploded into a world wide success. With top notch emcee skillz that Conway K posesses combined with b boys/b girl skills that are second to none, the RPS will leave you with a high octane performance that is hard to forget.
Some of the notable accomplishments the RPS have are: performing at the 2000 and 2003 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards, 2002 and 2006 North American Indigenous Games, and recently a national televised performance at the 2007 National Aboriginal Achievment Awards.
The RPS has hundreds of performances on a global scale from South Korea to San Diego, along with 2 full length albums and the recent release of there second music video for the new Conway K single "lose control".
The RPS is currently working on a show DVD that will have footage from performances dating back to 1996 till now, and a highly antisipated solo album from the RPS founder Conway K.
