Koné

Koné is a 24-year-old artist, musician, and producer from Leuven, Belgium. He developed a passion for percussion instruments at an early age and started playing on an old ceramic darbuka his parents brought back from Tunisia when he was just six years old. Over the years, he has gained extensive experience playing in and writing for various projects, including fantom, ozok, Tragic Eyes, Struggles in Paradise, Majé, Emee., Amrita Khan, Mikael Belkher,
INFADER, Yaye Daro, Tribal Twins, MAVEE, Letterzetter, TROY, Dana Gillespie (ex David Bowie), Celenges, Vinci, Deadbeat Larry, Joël Francis, Elvya, Liesbet Leroy, RAV Vast Music and more.

In his solo project you can hear his dedication to traditional percussion instruments from around the world, with the handpan taking centre stage. His debut EP will highlight the specialty of Koné: blending the handpan in full productions. Recently Koné had some major changes happening in his life: he finished his studies, decided to do music full-time, built a recording studio in a van and is now travelling around Europe sharing his music. Koné also decided to focus more on handpan and announced that he is working on an acoustic handpan album that will be released this year.

All Koné’s songs are deeply connected with his personal experiences in life. Topics such as mental health, mindset, meditation, and manifestation are really important to him so you can expect spiritual music, healing songs, high vibe sounds and meaningful lyrics.
