Oklou - Biography Flash

by Inception Point AI

Dive deep into the extraordinary world of Oklou with Biography Flash, the podcast that brings you the full story of one of the most compelling and genre-defying artists to emerge from France in recent memory. Born Marie-Pierra Kakoma in Poitiers in 1993, Oklou built her career from the ground up, moving from classical piano and cello training to self-produced electronic music released on Bandcamp and home-dubbed cassette tapes, all the way to headlining global festival stages at Coachella, Primavera Sound, and beyond. This show traces every chapter of that remarkable journey, from her early DIY releases under the alias Loumar and her debut EP Avril in 2014, through the pivotal NUXXE-released EP The Rite of May, to the breakout mixtape Galore and her debut album choke enough. Along the way, you will discover her creative partnerships with Mura Masa, Casey MQ, and Flume, her remixes for Dua Lipa, Caroline Polachek, and Angèle, her co-founding of the all-female DJ collective These Girls A
