Artist. Producer.Educator | Connector of dots… Preeminent Improvisational Vocalist, Author, Producer, GRAMMY-nominated musician, and multi-disciplinary fine artist, winner of the S&R Evermay Washington Award and DCCAH Artist Fellowship, KOKAYI is a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow for Music Composition (the first emcee to be granted a Guggenheim for music composition), Halcyon Arts Fellow, and Nicholson Arts Fellow, has been a TEDxWDC presenter, speaking on “collaboration and the creative economy,” and has served as Artist in Residence at Music Meeting in Nijmegen, NL. He can be heard on over 60 titles: Jazz, Hip Hop, Rock, and R&B. About his book "You Are Ketchup: and Other Fly Music Tales" (Globe Pequot), the Washington Post writes, “written in a tone so conversational you can practically hear it in your ear, “You Are Ketchup” feels like a megadose of straight advice from a muso-mentor who’s been there. And, of course, Kokayi has been all over the place.”
