About

Kofu (b. 1995), artistic alias for Moriamo Ahmed, is a Finnish-born Nigerian multidisciplinary artist - poetry, large vocals, and heartful electronic production symbolises the character of Kofu’s music.

Based and raised in Helsinki, they have long explored the inner workings of their mind through music, performance, and poetry. Like many individuals of the ever-growing diaspora, Kofu’s work revolves around concepts of love and identity, and the strain it causes when the two don’t meet. Through words, they seek to reach into the obstacles that plague their everyday life, including themes of depression, existential crisis and the occasional proclamations of love and make sense of them.

Kofu has performed at the inaugural Helsinki Music Week, Mad House Helsinki, and Kontula Electronic.
They released their debut EP in the absence of apathy in April 2025 via acclaimed label Émotsiya Music, established by local electronic music visionary and sweetheart Katerina Andonov.

Starting out their professional DJ career in 2022, Kofu has managed to showcase their collection of bass heavy music in various clubs and events around Helsinki, including Club Kaiku, Ääniwalli, and Post Bar, and continues to do so. Co-founder of the Big Sexxy Bass club night in Helsinki's revered club Post Bar, they actively contribute to the pulsing nightlife of the capital city. They have performed at the biggest festivals in the country, like Solstice Festival in Ruka, Visio Festival in Espoo, and Flow Festival in Helsinki.
