Kofu, artistic alias for Moriamo Ahmed, is a Finnish-born Nigerian poet, musician, and DJ. Their debut EP, ’in the absence of apathy’, is a sonic exploration of poetic introspection, brought to life with vocal harmonies, violin, and experimental synth sounds. Kofu aims to encapsulate the premise of honesty through sifting through themes of home, body, sorrow, and love. Kofu’s work revolves around concepts of love and identity, and the strain it causes when the two don’t meet. Through words and music, they seek to reach into the obstacles that plague their everyday life, including themes of depression, existential crisis and the occasional proclamations of love, and make sense of them.
