Biography

Kofi has quietly morphed from humble beginnings in Scarborough, Toronto to college volleyball superstar to culture-shifting singer, rapper, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, absorbing the lessons, wisdom, and skills from each phase. At the same time, he takes control of his destiny, conceiving and executing a singular vision through his lyrics and production. Armed with his MacBook, he became a go-to engineer for various local artists and taught himself how to produce in high school. Eventually, he wound up at UCLA as a star on the Bruins volleyball team. Simultaneously, he gained traction with a series of independent singles, including "Came Up" and "Wake Up". Picking up further momentum, he joined forces with multiplatinum Canadian rapper Pressa on "Snow" and landed a sync placement on the NBA 2K20 Soundtrack with "Hold Me Down." Signing to Red Bull Records, he revealed the 'Story of My Life' EP in 2020, producing three of the project’s six cuts himself. Along the way, he also earned high-profile fans such as Drake, Walshy Fire (of Major Lazer), Preme, and Kardinal Offishall, to name a few. After amassing tens of millions of streams and inciting applause from The New York Times, Complex, Earmilk, Hollywood Life, HotNewHipHop, and more, he details this journey on his 2022 album 'Why Not?' via Red Bull Records and much more to come.
