Events with Koko Love
Koko Love
Koko Love, a prominent figure in Montreal's alternative music scene, is bringing his highly anticipated debut
album The Cost of Freedom to life with an exclusive solo performance. This special show offers fans a rare,
intimate first listen to his new sound and artistic vision.
Koko Love's journey began within the vibrant tunnels of the Montreal metro, where he and his college friend Soran unearthed a newfound passion—enthralling passersby with their music throughout the entire city. The metro became their playground, and busking their favorite game. It was through this avenue that Koko's affection for music blossomed, forging genuine connections with an audience. These modest beginnings served as the cornerstone for both of their musical careers, ultimately igniting Koko Love's passion for authentic human connection to radiate through his music, setting him apart from the conventional mainstream.
After a few years of creating music under the alias “Miko” the artist's creative path took an intriguing turn as he immersed himself in transcendental meditation and ventured into the world of psychedelics. While undergoing a vipassana retreat, these experiences led to several profound spiritual awakenings that not only enriched his life but also ignited a transformation in his artistic expression. This transformation ultimately gave rise to the artist we now recognize as Koko Love. While Koko Love undoubtedly symbolizes the advent of a new era, it's crucial to also reflect on the path that guided him to this transformative juncture.
Starting his journey in Montreal as a French Canadian, Koko Love's artistic path was strongly influenced by his cultural background. Recognizing his French roots as a unique canvas, Koko seized the opportunity to cultivate a bilingual prowess, thereby refining his English language skills. This decision led him to join an English-speaking college. This experience not only improved Koko's ability to express himself in English but also provided him with a new passion for songwriting as he simultaneously embraced the language. This exploration of a new language expanded his artistic horizons significantly. The ability to fluently switch between french and english offered him a captivating advantage as an artist. When performing in English, he effortlessly immersed himself in a different character, leveraging his inherent accent and the nuances of language to his artistic benefit.
As fate would have it, Koko Love shares his birthday with John Lennon, a revered musical icon he profoundly admires. Stepping into the footsteps of his predecessor, Koko's artistic journey assumed a fresh significance, enriched with the essence of a spiritual quest and the unwavering determination to forge genuine human connections. His story is a compelling artistic saga that embodies the spirit of a warrior for humanity, a seeker of spiritual truths, and a true testament to the enduring potency of authentic artistry in the face of ever-shifting trends.
