Daniel Armand Lee (Korean: Lee Seon-woong; (Hangul: 이선웅); born July 22, 1980), known professionally as Tablo (Hangul: 타블로), is a Korean-Canadian rapper, record producer, songwriter, author, and entrepreneur who is currently based in South Korea. Tablo is best known as the leader and producer of veteran Korean hip-hop group Epik High, and the founder of independent music label HIGHGRND (High Ground), which houses bands Hyukoh and The Black Skirts.
Tablo became employed as a lyricist while still in high school. After completing his studies, Tablo returned to Korea to pursue music against his parents' wishes. In 2001, Tablo formed Epik High alongside DJ Tukutz and Mithra Jin. The group has since released 10 full-length albums and 1 EP, with Tablo having produced and co-written all the songs. His debut solo album, Fever's End, was released in 2011.
Outside of Epik High, Tablo is a record producer and songwriter for other artists and involved in collaborative projects such as Borderline, Eternal Morning, and Anyband. His music incorporates numerous styles, ranging from trance, trip hop, to rock. Tablo is also the author of the best-selling book Pieces of You, published in both English and Korean. He made his film debut acting in Nonstop (2005). In 2016, Tablo left his radio show, MBC FM4U's Tablo's Dreaming Radio, after eleven years to focus on HIGHGRND.
