Hi, my name is Sir Folk.
I am a singer songwriter from Ivory Coast and I currently live in Switzerland.
I compose, I write songs and stories about this confusing world I live in and that I don't understand. I find silence is beautiful, so I dress it up with the best of my notes.
My world is organic, acoustic, intimate, intricate, introverted and messy. Sometimes quietly celebrating, sometimes loudly grieving. Some paradoxes in it, and everywhere a bit of philosophy because why not.
I used to write and compose under my real name, that was one or two lifetimes ago. I chose a pseudonym to explore a deeper part of myself. My music is peacefully gravitating toward Ben Harper, Tracy Chapman, Jack Johnson, Francis Cabrel, Passenger, Paul Simon, Xavier Rudd, Sting, Walk Off The Earth, Jean-Jacques Goldman. I pick up my influences anywhere I can as long as it has both groove and meaning. My inside world is louder than the outside. You think utterly chaotic, I think infinite rainbow.
My songs tell who I am. Those who have stopped talking listen. Those who listen will know. And those who won't know are probably still talking.
I write and sing for those who listen.
