Inspired by his Grandad’s poetry, Kofi has had an advanced taste from as early as he can remember, freestyling and writing whenever he had the chance. A musical diet of Lupe Fiasco, Common, Kano and Sway further sparked his fascination with Hip-hop which later led his father to introduce him to an engineer who organised Kofi’s very first studio session. 2017 saw the release of his debut single ‘Stories In Pyjamas’, soon followed by ‘Nothin’ Ain't Free’, which quickly positioned him as one of the most exciting emerging artists that year. With a growing fanbase, multiple sold-out headline shows and relationships built in all the right places, his debut project Nobody Cares Till Everybody Does was proof that Kofi had arrived. The record was independently released via his label Tru Community and featured BRIT-nominated musician Loyle Carner and Irish songwriter, Maverick Sabre. Kofi has since toured with Loyle Carner, graced the stage at festivals across the world, and joined forces with the likes of Jacob Banks, Mr Jukes & Barney Artist and Tiana Major9. After a brief hiatus, Kofi is back with new releases ‘May Sound Crazy ft. Benjamin Zephaniah’, ‘Black Joy’, and his most recent single ‘You’ll Be Okay’. With a new album on the horizon we can expect a triumphant 2024 for Kofi Stone.
