Bio / Background

Growing up in Nigeria/West Africa, Motown Soul, Yoruba Juju and Fuji music, Folk, Jazz, and Afro-beat were his informal discipline, and still is. Love is his message; KUKU infuses his Yoruba/Nigerian Heritage with American Soul music, delivered in acoustic guitar driven singer/songwriter style.

"Unexpected pleasures, that's what I'm going to give to you." Those are words from the American-born-Nigerian-raised singer/songwriter/guitarist KUKU. A self-taught guitarist and an advocate for the phrase "Less is more," especially when it come to the music he creates; following the footsteps of acoustic singer/songwriter artists such as Richie Haven, James Taylor, Tracy Chapman and a host many other influences. KUKU embraces the music of his birthplace, and traces of his Nigerian traditions are ever present in the acoustic essence of his soul music.

"Folky-soul" is what a few choose to label what KUKU does, but he lovingly calls it soul music-literally and musically.
