Oko Ebombo

When it comes to creativity, Oko Ebombo is no one-trick pony. Raised in the tenth arrondissement of Paris, the multi-talented virtuoso got his introduction to the arts through dance. In the past, he's held his own photographic exhibition titled Okosexuel and opened the Pigalle AW15 menswear show with his soulful vocals. Now he serves as the frontman of his band, 19. Started back in 2009, Ebombo's musical project mixes elements of poetry and movement, and is inspired by “his own life and urban experiences”. “Iro” and “Naked Life”, the only two tracks released to date, are both rooted in jazz, with Ebombo enunciating each lyric with all the flourishes of his beautiful French dialect.
