KOYE

Remember the name Koye - a Nigerian-born but London-based saxophonist who has gained recognition for his ability to blend different genres of music. 

The core of his sound is honed in the rich melodic tones of Afrobeat, yet his diverse repertoire spans Gospel, R&B, Jazz, and everything in between.

Koye's passion for music began over a decade ago when he first picked up the saxophone after being influenced by one of his mentors the award-winning saxophonist YolanDa Brown whom he saw live in concert.

In 2015 his debut headline concert was sold out and received rave reviews in the press, it featured special guests such as the legendary Lagbaja, Tim Godfrey and Beejay Sax. He has headlined concerts around the world and played in the most eclectic surroundings.

​

With a degree in electrical and electronics engineering at the University of Warwick, academia has always been a passion of Koye’s. 

He has a passion for Africa and with his saxophone and storytelling, he asks us to imagine an Africa that has freedom. 
Imagine an Africa that has liberty. Imagine an Africa that is prosperous and powerful. THAT IS KOYE’S AFRICA.

​

The eagerly anticipated release of his debut EP, "Young and Vibrant” is finally here, with a sold-out special concert at Pizza Express Live Holborn.

With his passion for music and his unwavering commitment to his craft, Koye is poised for even greater success. 

As he continues to evolve as an artist, KoyeSax's music promises to inspire and delight audiences around the world.
