Okorie “OkCello” Johnson is an American cellist-songwriter whose artistry integrates cello performance, live-sound-looping, improvisation, and storytelling — all culminating in original compositions that collide classical with jazz, EDM, reggae, and funk. His music is inspired by the exploration of African Diasporic melodies and narratives and their intersection with people’s perceptions and assumptions about the classical and European nature of the cello.
Experience the cello like you’ve never heard it before. OK Cello, a nationally acclaimed performer who has appeared at the Kennedy Center, SXSW and Atlanta Jazz Festival and shared stages with artists including Maxwell, India.Arie, De La Soul and Big Boi of OutKast, OkCello brings virtuosity, soul and unexpected energy to every performance. This September, discover what happens when one cello becomes an entire world of sound.
