Many became aware of Koyczan when he performed his epic work We Are More in the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics but he’s moved on significantly from there steering his special word-art into the mainstream.

His anti-bullying video titled To This Day went viral online in early 2013 and has now reached more than 14 million viewers, making him an entertainment phenomenon.
