Kobla – Bookings & Enquires

Kobla The Expression

Composer and Multi-instrumentalist from London, UK

About

"I see myself first and foremost as an entertainer; and whether you are watching me behind an instrument, microphone or screen, I want you to remember how I made you feel."

Raised in a Christian household to Ghanaian parents, Kobla (a name given to Tuesday-borns in his native tounge, Ewe), cites Gospel, Afrobeat and Jazz as fundamental influences to his style.

Since graduating from university in 2016, Kobla’s pursuits in both engineering and music have taken him across the UK; meeting and connecting with musicians and artists from various backgrounds and influences.

The global Covid-19 pandemic presented numerous challenges but also unique opportunities. With live shows coming to a halt, Kobla spent much more of his free time practicing and developing new skills – one of them being music production. ‘Launch’ (released 31st July 2020), the debut single from Kobla the Expression, is the embodiment of this time period.

Testimonials

Hear from some clients for yourself!

"I feel like it’s too early for me to give feedback as we only worked once so it won’t be credible. But on a first time thing, I found you professional and I was content with what we came up with. You tend to always refer to what the artists want when you suggest an idea and I like that. Ask me again this time next year and I’ll have a list for you because we will be working more this year - God willing"

"You're the best thing that happened to me musically Bro. Your drumming is great! My only wish would be to play more with you and more on the creative side than just the performing one. If I could change one thing, it would be for you to be closer to London!"

Davy Denke

Artist & Online Partnership Manager, YouTube

"Professional manner when contacting via email regarding contracts and pricing with a very clear structure. You always come with high quality musicians and are able to jam along. The only negative would be to talk a lot more quietly as a band on stage when not playing (someone who sat on the front row at the last event mentioned to me that they could hear the band talking to each other). Apart from that you’re great and look forward to working with you more this year
