About this user

Akosua is an Oakland, CA based Ghanaian-American composer, vocalist, and guitarist. Northern Californias East Bay Express deems her a poetic songbird with champagne-sweet pipes. Akosua has been compared to Joni Mitchell, Sade, Seal, Ani Difranco, and India Arie, and still her jazz inspired folk fusion is in a category all its own. Born and raised in New York and New Jersey, Akosua journeyed slowly out to the west coast, first stopping at the University of Michigan where she obtained her undergraduate degree and explored her musical talent. Determined to pursue a career as a professional musician, Akosua moved to the Bay Area, confident that the west coast would move her to fulfill her creative visions and dreams. Since settling in California, Akosua has been featured at a plethora of venues and events including the Minna Gallery (San Francisco), and the The Linen Life (Emeryville). In November 2004, Akosua opened for Sila and the Afro-Funk Experience at the Elbo Room (San Francisco). Akosua was featured at Sacred Grounds (San Francisco) and at Epic Arts (Berkeley). In addition to her many performances, Akosua also played live on KPFAs Transitions on Traditions and on KKUPs World Music Festival in May 2005. In July of 2005, Akosua performed at New York Citys Performance Space 122, in a mini festival for independent artists. Prior to her trip to New York she received an award for Best Performance of the evening at a West Coast Singer Songwriters songwriter competition in Berkeley, CA. This year Akosua headlined at Epic Arts, La Peña, and Freight and Salvage. She also graced Pontiac Michigans Blue Note Café, and her anti-war ballad We Are One, was played on the KPFA morning show. Akosua is creating new territory for brown girls with guitars. Her undulating voice, introspective lyrics, and self-taught guitar stylings are deeply uplifting and completely unforgettable.
