In an industry full of cookie cutter images and factory-produced talent, one is hard pressed to discover an artist with the skill, passion and drive of  Kofi Black. As a self trained singer, songwriter and producer, Kofi is the definition of what the industry has been waiting for. Born in the same Park Hill section of Staten Island, famed for the legendary Hip Hop group, Wu Tang Clan, the former rapper turned singer has captured the ear of the region with his soulful voice and penchant for penning nerve-striking lyrics. As fate would have it, he was recently cosigned by Staten Island native and legend Raekwon the Chef of Wu Tang. Kofi is now on track to become one of the most renowned voices of his generation.
Inspired by greats like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rick James, R. Kelly, Andre 3000 to name a few Kofi’s style is a fusion of his African roots, soul, pop and funk. No box can contain this kind of talent. His voice range and performance will dazzle your intellect. "My parents listened to all kinds of music, great music that rubbed off on me. My dad had the African music and Bob Marley going and mom had the gospel and soul classics going. My uncle Ray had ties to Al Green back in the day. They used to sing together so having him around the family was cool. I wrote my first song at ten years old but it wasn't until high school that I got serious about it," says Black. Once upon of time Black was in a rap group, going from school to school, from hood to hood in New York winning battles and then eventually switched it up by singing. Singing just spoke to him more. "During lunch time while they were rapping I'd slide in smooth with the hook. It won the girls every time lol" To add to his singing Kofi was the go to guy when it came to making beats in high school and still is to this day. Like most of the greats; Kofi is completely self-taught on the piano, drums and bass guitar, which are heard throughout his music. 
 Vocally trained by one of the prolific vocal coaches of this time Craig Derry who's trained everyone from Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilerra, Alicia Keys, John Legend to Trey Songz. (About Kofi: "One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. His gift is evident. He writes and sings stuff that is undeniable. And when you hear him you will agree. He's definitely a great!"- Craig Derry) Kofi receives standing ovations at his shows when he sings. Ultimately, it's Kofi Black's live show that generates the most enthusiastic reviews. "Kofi gives a kick ass show.."- Fan. Opportunity presented itself and Kofi began singing background for artists such as: Mariah Carey, Joe, Carl Thomas and several others. Understanding just how rare his talent was, Kofi went into the studio and began penning his own classics “My song writing is influenced by life, by relationships, conversations and reality. It’s raw at times, fun, the words and melodies may pull on your heart strings but most importantly it’s relatable and sincere.”
