Sean Koch

Sean Koch is a Cape Town based indie-folk artist who brings a mixed bag of African and western influence alongside messages of home, a connection to nature, the ocean and the people around him; to his story telling, feel-good music.

While rooted in his flowing-folk style, his music is diverse. From dance infused songs like ‘Lift You Up’ the standout single from his collection, to the dreamier songs like ‘Feel the Energy’ that carry deeper messages of connection to the natural world and the people that surround us. There is something for everyone in Sean’s catalogue.

On the stage, Sean has supported acts such Xavier Rudd (AUS), Milky Chance (DE), Sticky Fingers (AUS), Will & the People (UK), A-ha (Norway) and Mat McHugh / Beautiful Girls (AUS). He has also graced internationally recognised festival line-ups, including Reeperbahn Festival (DE), Szieget Festival (HG), Pangea Festival (DE), Sound of the Forest Festival (DE) and a headline performance at Surfana Festival (NL).

Sean's live performances with bandmates Adrian Fowler and Jonty Finn are electric with energy and have a cult-like following. 2026 sees him hitting the road for 22 dates in September and October, dubbed the "Time Will Tell" tour, it's in support of his third full length album of the same title. The album features a diverse range of foot tapping upbeat tunes and stripped down, very intimate acoustic style songs - all with Sean's signature sound; blending African rhythm with intimate folk story-telling.
