K.O. Giuseppe
Kennedy Oghayore (born June 9, 1988), known by his pen name K.O. Giuseppe (and also known as K.O.G.), is the author of the bestselling 2013 book Bonnie and Klyde + 2 Cats: The Journey of A Starving Artist.
Life and career
Oghayore was born in Nigeria, raised in Queens and Bridgeport, Connecticut, earning a Bachelor’s degree from Central Connecticut State University, before relocating to Los Angeles, California. The humor-infused story of ‘’Bonnie and Klyde’’ revolves around his successful job in engineering, which defaulted into an unexpected life of hardship—as a young African American man who ends up living in a Jeep with his girlfriend and two cats (Panda and Tabbey) as the four head west to forge a new life.
Oghayore has also directed music videos and commercials, and been an accomplished digital painter, putting some of his digital paintings on display via his book covers. His second work, released in 2014, is the short story ‘’K.O. Giuseppe’s A Marvelous Adventure: Lost in Miami,’’ which documents an ill-fated adventure to Miami while under the influence. In May 2014, Oghayore took a major step toward Fiction genre with the release of ‘’Little Tubr: Blue Slaves and Red Flames’’. The author notes: Writing is the only art form that transfers the power of imagination to anyone bold enough to read.
