Topu Lyo redefines the string instrument as he plays on one of the world's only five-string electric cellos. Armed with a style described by TK as "a new breed of progressive cellists-a mix of Tom Morello, Dave Holland and
Charles Mingus," Topu introduces a new element to the dance/rock sound. While Topu has extensive classical and jazz backgrounds, which has sent him playing throughout North America, Europe and Asia, he exercises an adventurous spirit in music, mixing electronics and his instrument in unexpected ways.
