You might be wondering who I am, or maybe you stumbled here by chance. Either way, welcome - I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Kohanna, and I’m a 21-year-old folk-pop artist with a passion for crafting songs that tell stories and create connections. I first discovered music when I sat down at a piano at the age of five, and by eleven, I had picked up the guitar. Since then, music has been the lens through which I see the world. It’s how I capture life’s adventures, quiet moments, and everything in between.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky to take my music to different places, performing everywhere from intimate local venues to bigger stages, each show shaping me in some way. My sound is inspired by the raw soulfulness of Janis Joplin and the heartfelt storytelling of The Lumineers, but at its core, my music reflects the experiences I’ve lived and the people I’ve met along the way.
For me, music is more than just melodies or lyrics - it’s about creating an experience. It’s about sharing a moment that exists only in the here and now, where the audience and I can build something meaningful together. Every performance is a chance to connect, to add to someone’s story, and to share a little piece of my own.
When I’m not performing, I’m often exploring new places and simply finding joy in the little things that make life extraordinary.
Feel free to explore this space. You’ll find my latest music, details about upcoming shows, and a glimpse into my life on and off the stage. I’d love to hear from you - whether it’s about music, life, or anything in between.
Thanks for stopping by corner of the internet:)

“The opening notes- what I think is an African thumb piano- kept bringing me back. This gem of an electro-folk single reminds me of the debuts from Lorde and Sylvan Esso, putting her in great company. “
