KUKU creates music with the emphasis on the principle that less is more. Drawing from the soul, folk, jazz and African music he heard growing up in Lagos Nigeria, KUKU's unique brand, which he labels the Afro Soul Acoustic Experience, addresses all human emotions that relate to the universal theme of Love. He takes music back to its roots with is minimalist acoustic guitar driven approach to performing and recording. Though folksy in delivery, KUKU five-octave vocal range calls to mind Soul greats such as Terry Callier, Bill Withers, Al Green, and Richie Haven.
