Lost Love Found Soul

King Scorpio  is an independent R&B artist who’s ready to show the world what he’s got. The up-and-coming R&B singer just released his first full-length project titled Lost Love Found Soul, which puts his talents on display and serves as a testament to what he is capable of.

His debut EP is about love, heartbreak, and dealing with the emotions that are felt in a relationship.

“I speak about how I dealt with the pain I caused my ex and how the unfortunate situation affected us both,” King Scorpio said of the EP. “Also I talk about the coping mechanisms I chose to cling to as my escapes.”

He got his name because he said that he wants to be “the best Scorpio of [his] generation,” acknowledging how Drake has emerged as one of the most successful and widely recognized scorpios of his generation.

“I want to be in that position too as I continue to grow as a musician and artist,” he said.

Some of the talented singer’s inspirations include The Weeknd, Drake, 6lack, Tory Lanez, and Jhene Aiko. King Scorpio is paving his own lane with his unique and melodic sound.

Throughout the EP, Lost Love Found Soul offers a vulnerable look at who King Scorpio is as an artist.

Keep reading to learn more about King Scorpio.

Who are some of your main musical influences?
The Weeknd is by far my biggest musical influence. I’ve been XO since 6th grade and Abel has definitely had a huge impact on my lyrical content and style. 6lack, Tory Lanez, Jhene Aiko, Drake, and Juice WRLD are also large influences I can credit in my style of music.
What are some of your music career goals for the future?
For the short term, I’d like to put out a couple more projects and start doing shows after my next project. That of course depends on the pandemic and where we are at that point in time. I’d also like to continue building up my core fanbase. In the long term, I would love to get back into producing and start having a larger hand in the production of my instrumentals — like I did when I was first starting out. I’d also like to branch out and start working with other local artists and building relationships in the Baltimore, D.C., and Philly music circuit. I’d also like to tour and do shows consistently and build a stronger base for my music across the East coast and then the rest of the U.S.
Tell us about your newest project Lost Love Found Soul. What is it about?
This is my first EP and it’s a telling of the ending and aftermath of my latest relationship and the preceding flings and escapades. I speak about how I dealt with the pain I caused my ex and how the unfortunate situation affected us both. Also the coping mechanisms I chose to cling to as my escapes. Then my eventual acceptance of the loss of the relationship, the woman I loved, and taking accountability for my hand in the mess.
What has the response been like to that project?
The sneak peaks and promotions leading up to the project’s release has been overwhelmingly positive. My fans and supporters seem to enjoy the new sound and the direction I’m going in, which was a huge relief as I used to be more partial to melodic and hard rap. The switch to a more R&B inspired sound has been seamless.
What are some projects you’ve done in the past that you are most proud of and why?
My previous singles “Love Addict,” “Emergence,” and “Insanity.” First and foremost for the huge variance in genre, melodic rap, jazzy soul, and trap metal respectively. Each was my first venture into the genre as I tried to find my sound, and I’m proud of each saga in my journey. They were products of the mindset and place I was in at the time of their creation and I put my all into them emotionally. I still think they hold up.
What message do you hope fans take away from your music?
I just want my fans to have a better understanding of my mind and the chaos that goes on up there. Of course I make music for my own personal therapy, but I also do it for the enjoyment of others. They seem to love it and I’m glad I can create something that touches people in such a way so I just hope they can identify with what I sing and know I’m documenting my pain and struggles as a human.

Interview

Behind the Music: Creating KOKOmotion

Published

on

The world of music is a melting pot of cultures, sounds, and stories. In this exclusive interview with Shah Cypha on “On The Grynd Live,” we get an inside look at KOKO, an artist whose journey from Finland to New York City exemplifies the grind and passion that drive the music industry. KOKO’s story is one of diversity, self-empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams.
A Blend of Cultures: KOKO’s International Soundscape

KOKO’s music is a testament to her international background. Hailing from Finland and spending part of her life in Brussels, Belgium, she brings a blend of Northern European sophistication and Middle European jazz and funk to her music. It’s this eclectic mix that sets her apart, making her sound a breath of fresh air in the New York scene.

KOKO mentions her fondness for the jazz and funk she experienced in Brussels, stating, “I definitely have like funk elements in my music, especially from the time when we lived in Brussels, because we went to see like a lot of jazz, for example, at all times.” This richness in artistry isn’t just serendipitous; it’s intentional and a core part of who she is as an artist.

The New York City Metamorphosis

Moving to the epicenter of varied artistic expression, New York City, KOKO continued to evolve her craft. It’s here that she found the latitude to further her studies in sound engineering and delve deeper into the music world. Attending SAE Institute of Technology was a decision that would shape her future, immersing her in a community that lives and breathes sound.

Yet, it isn’t just about the music for KOKO. It’s about being “in motion,” as she refers to her debut LP, aptly titled “Coco Motion.” This project encapsulates her experiences and growth during her time in the States. Each song represents a timestamp, chronicling her evolution from an international student to a New York artist. “It’s like a timeline, almost like how my journey has been here,” she reflects.

The Beacon of Self-love and Empowerment

Amid the beats and melodies, there’s an underlying narrative in KOKO’s music: the importance of self-love and empowerment. These are not just themes but the lifeblood of her creative expression. KOKO is on a mission to inspire, guide, and remind listeners of their inherent worth and capacity for love.

She doesn’t shy away from her advocacy for mental health, recognizing its significance in today’s society. For KOKO, music is a medium for healing and spiritual growth. “My sound is conscious pop,” she says, signaling the reflective quality of her songs and their purpose to resonate on a deeper level with her audience.

As we recap the indelible impression KOKO has made in her interview with Shah Cypha, it’s clear that her trajectory is not simply one of personal ambition but also of universal resonance. Her music, imbued with both her Finnish and Brussels-influenced roots, has found a nurturing home in New York City, blossoming into a soundtrack of self-development and positive vibrations. With a firm stance on female empowerment and mental health, KOKO’s presence in the industry goes beyond entertainment; it’s a catalyst for transformation and healing. Her upcoming LP, “KOKOmotion,” is set to ripple through the collective consciousness, reminding us all to stay in perpetual movement toward our highest selves.
