Some of Kofy Brown’s credit include a nomination for best R&B album of the year, California Music Awards; MTV Commercial Promo “SNITCH”, songs on numerous independent films, Gypsy Boys, The Real Thing and the Showtime documentary Butch Mystique, Jumpin’ The Broom and the PBS documentary, “Breaking the Glass”.  Kofy Brown has been written up in several national and international magazines including the Vibe Magazine, Oor Magazine (Netherlands), URB, and USA Today, as one of
today’s emerging artist.  She has also been featured at the prestigious North Sea Jazz Festival, Blue Balls Festival, and many other European and US festivals.

Her focus is derived from the fact that she is a self taught musician who learned her craft from playing in a family band throughout her childhood.  A commanding stage performer, Kofy is an authentic talent who sings, produces and writes all of her own material.  She also plays keyboards, guitar, bass and drums.  Kofy’s voice is velvety and deep with an undercurrent of staccato urgency.  It mesmerizes her audiences while simultaneously sending her message loud and clear.  ”I want people to feel good when they hear us play, or at least feel something…..music to me is about how it makes you emote as a person, that’s where I’m coming from as a performer and songwriter”

Kofy Brown is one of those rare artists with universal appeal. With heartfelt songs and an electrifying stage show, Kofy Brown has seduced audiences around the world with her unifying message of peace, purpose, hope and love.  Kofy Brown- Love Warrior forever!

Ok maybe this approach is too heady. It’s the feelings. Somber, frustrated disappointed at yourself at times. And music can help you release these emotions. That’s what is has done for me.

This is not an uplifting album, sorry to say. But I was not in a particular uplifting mood in the last few years that this record was created and even longer than that for some of the songs that were written. But I do think it can speak to people who have gone through strife and plain ole bad sh*t in their lives but are still reaching and striving to be positive and more forward.

So for now if you are interested in music that can move you get into your bones and soul, I think you will dig this record. Not just a song or two cause I think this record is at its best when you listen to the whole album in one sitting. You know with headphones on dark lighting and a beer or two or maybe a good glass of wine. Something to vibe to and get into, kinda like a funkadelic experience, but veers off course into a little rock, country funk and soul.

I’ll have the full record available by November 11th at CDbaby, iTunes for download and local Amoeba and Rasputin record shops in the Bay Area. Hopefully we can get this soul rock movement going and spread the distribution out but we have to wait and see. So for an appetizer I am putting out some of the cuts from the record for you to love, hate, ignore or whatever.

Skarlet Stew is my raw and uncut jam. Recorded on my Akai DPS12i at home this track is honest, gritty and raw! Hope you guys dig the vibe and emotion. You know how it is…sometimes your just mad as hell at yourself and just want F@&# some sh*t up. But next is Lost Child which is how I also feel like I just don’t know what’s going on and how to hold it together.

Check it out for yourself and if you want to let me know what you think that would be cool.

Peace out for now.

Kofy

Can’t wait to get it.

I do have to mention our last two shows at Cafe Leopold in Vienna & the Sudhaus in Basel. These two shows were back to back with a 13 hour van ride in between and WHEW it was off the Chain! First to the folks in Vienna, Cafe Leopold is in the Leopold Museum and is very cool. They turn the tour shop into a full blown club at night- the folks in Vienna know how to party. I don’t think we started until maybe midnight. The show was full of energy from the crowd. The lights the sound it was great!

We got back to the hotel around 3:00am knowing we had to be up at 7am to hit the road to make it to Basel for a 5pm sound check the next day. Well we got to Basel around 6pm and by the time we made sound check everyone was just loopy enough to have one of the saddest sound checks ever- but hey we pros right

But let me tell you- this was our last night and we were about to do it PUT IT DOWN! And we had such a great turn out, big shout out to Basel you all know how to dance and just do the damn thang! The SudHaus is a very cool two story club/artist events center. We got a great write up in the major news paper in the town and even a little radio play so people came out to check out this Soul Rock band from Oakland CA to see what all the fuss was about and we rammed it right down their ear hole! We had the whole place singing and swaying…spreading the gospel of soul peace and love. Love Warrior Kofy Brown in FULL EFFECT! Yall know how we do and if you don’t you’ve got to come out to one of the live shows…it ain’t nothing but a sho’ nuff good time.

So that was that- Sold all of our CD’s most of the T-shirts and had the time of our lives. Maui tour manager extraordinair was rockin on the dance floor and we had our folks from Rheinfleden come out to support as well.

So that’s it for now. That Soul Rock joint should hit the streets this summer for real. So tell your friends and let’s make it happen yall.

Until next time peace love and hair grease- that girl K BROWN!

Thanks to anybody involved in this tour, specially to the club-promoters who book us , and to the visitors and fans who support us on the shows. hope to see you back next time.
