Koko Koseso

Koko Koseso is a Kenyan singer, songwriter and storyteller whose music emerges from the rich cultural landscape of East Africa while speaking to deeply universal experiences of womanhood, identity, love and survival.
A proud Luo woman, Koko draws from her heritage while creating a contemporary sound that moves across soul, alternative pop, Afro-fusion and emotionally charged storytelling. At the heart of her work is a powerful commitment to telling women's stories — honestly, unapologetically and without asking permission.
Koko's artistry is rooted in vulnerability and strength. Her songs explore the complexities of being a woman in the modern world: desire, relationships, motherhood, identity, freedom and the many skins women are expected to wear throughout their lives.
Her forthcoming body of work, Skins, expands this conversation, exploring the layers of womanhood and the identities women inhabit, shed and reclaim. It follows her earlier project, A Song for My Miracle Baby, a deeply personal work inspired by her journey into motherhood.
With a voice that can move from intimate confession to powerful declaration, Koko Koseso represents a new generation of East African artists who are not interested in fitting neatly into a genre or expectation. Her music is personal but never small — grounded in her own story while reaching towards conversations that cross borders, cultures and languages.
Koko Koseso is an artist with something to say.
And she is just getting started.
