ko aka koala

Introducing the enigmatic and multi-talented underground pop sensation: ko aka koala. With a creative spirit that knows no bounds, she seamlessly combines her love for left leaning hip hop, techno, metal, and pop into something wholly and uniquely her own. Based in the heart of Los Angeles, she rose from the city’s vibrant underground scene first as a DJ – she curated electrifying sets that ignited dance floors and earned her a dedicated following, playing shows with Charli XCX, Troy Sivan, 100 gecs, and more. During her time as a DJ, she started experimenting with eclectic sounds and beats that transcended genres playing with the ideas of hard and soft.
But KO’s artistic ambitions didn’t stop there. Fuelled by an insatiable curiosity, she delved into the world of visual art, channeling her boundless imagination onto canvas. Her artwork, a vivid kaleidoscope of colors and emotions, reflects the same fearless exploration that defines her music. As an underground pop musician, ko aka koala brings forth a fresh sound that defies convention. Her music is a sonic tapestry weaving together catchy melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and unexpected genre fusions. Each track is a journey through her artist evolution, inviting listeners to join her in exploring the uncharted realms of sound and emotion.
In a world that often craves authenticity and creativity, KO’s executes her artist vision entirely herself – her artwork, visuals, video editing. She was featured on the Salt, Fresh Finds Pop, Misfits, and Ones to Watch playlists on Spotify. KO has already developed a cult-like following for her style, music, and presence. She refuses to be boxed in as she forges her own identity. As a multidisciplinary creative – producer, songwriter, dancer, director, visual artist – she is able to connect her sonic journey with the aspects of her art we can frame on our walls or watch on our screens in the tangible world. Her music has garnered the attention of world class producers, and she has collaborated with Grammy Nominated Producer Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, BlackPink), Stefan Ponce (Chance the Rapper, Childish Gambino), Alex Lustig (Drake, Lil Wayne), and many more.
