Okorie “OkCello” Johnson is a genre-defying cellist whose artistry integrates cello performance, improvisation and storytelling, all culminating in original compositions that collide classical with jazz, electronic dance music, reggae and funk.
OkCello’s 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. His technical mastery and creative curiosity have made him a sought-after collaborator with a range of artists like India.Arie, De La Soul and Big Boi of OutKast.
Rooted in tradition but fearlessly innovative, OkCello crafts rich sonic textures using loops, effects and layered melodies, creating boundary-transcending performances that are immersive, emotionally resonant and often spiritual.
