About Kohndo
An original member of the legendary French rap group La Cliqua, Kohndo has been a fixture in French music since the early 1990s. Early success took the artist from Paris to New York and back again, allowing Kohndo to collaborate with some of the industry's biggest names.
Since establishing himself as a solo artist, Kohndo has earned praise and worldwide recognition for his unique style, influenced heavily by the soul and jazz masters. Kohndo's second solo album "Stick to the Ground" was mixed partly in Detroit and quickly developed a cross-Atlantic fan base among hip hop enthusiasts in the United States.
Kohndo further evolved his sound with the creation of the Velvet Club, a live band ensemble of masterful musicians. In great demand, the Velvet Club has performed all over France in both intimate concert settings as well as major music festivals, notably "La Rue au Grand Palais", "Nancy Jazz Pulsation" and "Printemps de Bourges."
