“A hypnotic, textural musical journey.” - Arts ATL

Okorie “OkCello” Johnson is an American cellist-songwriter whose artistry integrates cello performance, live-sound-looping, improvisation, and storytelling. The resulting original compositions mix classical music with jazz, EDM, reggae, and funk. With a sound that blends deep-rooted traditions with innovative sonic landscapes, OkCello explores themes and expressions of the African diaspora, as well as the phenomenon of musical prayer. Drawing upon his experience as a teacher and writer, OkCello immerses his audiences in vivid stories and songs, creating a richly layered, transcendent concert experience, while also working with companies and educational institutions to leverage the power of music and storytelling to help solve problems and create community.
