Cosima Olu

Cosima Olu was praised for having revived Swedish soul when she released her EP "Head in the Clouds" in 2015. Debuting as a music producer her long-awaited solo album Magnolia was released in November 2020. (In November 2020 Cosima's long-awaited album Magnolia was released, where she debuted as a music producer.) The album was highlighted in Swedish media, by both Per Sinding-Larsen and Gaffa, as well as foreign blogs such as "Scandinavian Soul" and "She makes music UK". With her album, she depicts the contrast between darkness and light, the liberation from letting go and the strength that comes with accepting the duality of life. The album was created on a remote island outside Stockholm and in the famous studio collective “Oda Studios.”

The music has been described as warm, authentic and emits both a sense of established retro and fresh forward-looking. After the album release in the midst of a pandemic, Cosima has finally taken the stage again, most recently as the opening act for Magnus Tingsek on his Sweden tour in the autumn of 2021.

Her own band consists of the top musicians Oscar Johansson (pi), Måns Block (tr), Johan Christoffersson (sax), Mira Palme (choir) and Samuel Löfdahl (bass). Cosima has previously worked with some of the country's top artists and international acts, such as Miriam Bryant (SE), Seinabo Sey (SE), Molly Sandén (SE) and Norrbotten Big Band (SE) & KNOWER (US).



Blending essences of soul and jazz with indie-pop undertones, Cosima Olu creates captivating music graciously expanding into new musical waters.

The velvety soft sound and the finely executed expression makes her an extremely interesting artist worth keeping an eye on in the future. We're excited to hear a lot more from her.
