KUOKO
For a few years now Hamburg based artist KUOKO has proven herself a skillful, self-producing composer/songwriter and a master of the synth-pop sonic world. With a crystal clear voice KUOKO taps into melancholic, dreamlike spheres (Floating), whether in indie-pop fashion (Hiding In The Dark) or even in danceable, electronic dresses (Perfect Girl). By the time her self-titled debut album was released in September 2021 via Kabul Fire Records, KUOKO established herself as a unique allrounder that puts as much effort into creating the visual world around her sound, as in playing elusive live shows. After being invited to prominent showcase festivals like the Great Escape (UK) or Popkultur Festival (GER), she played several support shows with electro-pop duo ÄTNA in Switzerland. Thematically KUOKO’s music functions as a mirror of her self-reflection processes regarding an increasingly digital world lacking human connection as well as the visibility and recognition of female producers. Addressing society’s patriarchal structures she sings: “I’ll never be the perfect girl that you want me to be” in her previous lead single, clarifying her stance on society’s absurd expectations of women. Since KUOKO continues to hold her space as a creative in an industry that places many obstacles for artists like her, while processing the human experience in the 21st century, we’ll be getting more music and bolder sounds.“
