Agents of Karma Agents of Karma was formed by Jay Cavanaugh and Conrad Sparnroft to fill what they saw as a void in the music scene. A. O. K. quickly gained a reputation in New York City for high energy live shows, dynamic musicianship and eclectic non formula song writing. The addition of energetic drummer Patrick (Paddymike) Conlon who along with his acoustic drum kit brought in sampling and additional background vocals, made the current line up complete.
