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 (including the Double MZK & G DOM remix) 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 has built a strong following in Europe, particularly GSA territories. In October 2023 he completed his sixth European tour alongside band mates Adrian Fowler, Ross Hillier and Dean Bailey, which featured multiple sold out performances. Dubbed the ‘Subtle Affection’ tour, it was run in support of Sean’s second full-length album, of the same title, which features a diverse range of foot tapping upbeat tunes and stripped down, very intimate acoustic style songs.

The band are hard at work back in South Africa, performing at select shows while working in the studio towards a collection of music ready for 2024!
