Kofi Stone
22nd April 2025

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. 

Kofi released his highly anticipated second album A Man After God’s Own Heart in October 2024, marking his first full-length release following his 2019 debut project. The record stands as his most vulnerable work to date, exploring profound themes of love, faith, family and race, weaving a narrative that reveals both struggle and resilience. Standout tracks include May Sound Crazy featuring the late great Benjamin Zephaniah, the hard hitting Black Joy, and the Tom Misch produced Lavender. Kofi is now on the precipice of greatness and we can expect a big year for him in 2025.
