Kosi

Born: November 4, 1985

Kosi (neé Akosua Gyebi) is a New York City based singer/songwriter with nappy hair and jazz roots.

But, small as she is, she won't fit in a box. She switches styles more quickly than you can follow, from jazz, to rock, then folk, but never more than a few steps away from the blues. She cites Abbey Lincoln and Nina Simone as her main influencers, and has been compared to Tracy Chapman, India Arie, Ma Rainey, and Bessie Smith
