Organizer
Okorie Johnson is an American cellist/songwriter who performs under the moniker, OkCello. His artistry integrates cello performance, live sound looping, improvisation and storytelling – all culminating in original compositions that collide classical with jazz, EDM, reggae and funk. OkCello 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.
"In Okorie’s own words: “After years of putting my cello down and picking it back up, after years of deciding that the cello wasn’t financially practical, after years of thinking that my other voices were my native ones, I realized that the cello was the oldest, the most central and the most sacred part of me. I resolved never, ever, to deny it again."
