To kick off Black History Month, we’re honored to feature London-based Nigerian soul singer and data architect Kofii, known to many as Coffee. His story is a powerful testament to the resilience and creative spirit of the Black community—transforming personal grief into music that heals and inspires.

After enduring the heartbreaking losses of his father and sister, Coffee channeled his pain into his art, gaining recognition through rooftop live streams, The Voice UK, Starstruck, and a Coca-Cola commercial. From busking in the streets to performing for terminally ill individuals, his soulful melodies remind us of music's capacity to connect and console.

In this episode, Coffee opens up about the healing power of live performance, and how artists can turn their pain into a purposeful message. His journey underscores that even in the face of loss, love endures—and even in the depths of sorrow, there is a song that can uplift.

🎧 Celebrate Black History Month with us by tuning in for an episode filled with soulful wisdom, powerful stories, and the enduring strength of Black artistry.
