Akosua: Press

"Akosua, the Ghanaian-American songbird whose poetic, original tunes and champagne-sweet pipes bear an uncanny resemblance to those of Ms.(Joni) Mitchell."

"There's only one way to describe Oakland singer-songwriter Akosua's voice, it's silky smooth."

"...it's not all ethereal atmospherics for the multitalented musician. Drawing from her Ghanaian cultural heritage as well as other forms of music, Akosua is creating a potent hybrid of African jazz, Latin, and folk....Akosua is pushing the boundaries of conventional songwriting."

“The stress that goes along with producing a major
outdoor event can become maddening. At a time when I
felt that I was going to explode, Akosua blessed the
stage, and through her immense gift of song, she cast
a ray of sunlight into what I felt was going to be a
gloomy day. Her words spoke to me, saying that
everything is okay… and it was. Not only is Akosua’s
music brilliant, it’s therapeutic”— Michael P.
