Kojo Funds

London-based rapper Kojo Funds was born Errol Bellot in 1995 and is of mixed Dominican and Ghanaian descent. He was raised by his mother in the East End of London and initially built up his reputation as a rapper by making a series of appearances on other artists' material. These included tracks such as 'Fantasy' by Jamila Jones, 'Fine Wine' by Yxng Bane and most notably ' Finders Keepers', the platinum-selling hit released by the Swedish- English singer Mabel in 2017 which helped Bellot receive a nomination for 'Best Newcomer' at the prestigious MOBO Awards later that year.

The rapper released his debut solo album in autumn 2018 titled 'Golden Boy'. This critically-acclaimed album showcased Bellot's unique blend of musical influences which combine West African and Caribbean sounds with rap, hip-hop and dancehall which Bellot describes as 'afroswing'. The album reached number 40 in the UK charts and spawned the hit single 'Check' featuring the British female singer Raye which went to number 26 in the UK charts.
