Kesperanza Koan is known for channeling her deepest emotions into her songs. While these emotions can sometimes be dark, her music remains upbeat and infectious. Born in the Netherlands, this singer-songwriter moved to Belgium, where she has been carving her path in music since 2012.
Her name symbolizes the message she conveys as an artist. It combines the “K” from Kiki, her given name, with her surname Esperanza (which means hope) and Koan (a concept in Ch’an and Zen Buddhism used to help students gain insight into the true nature of their mind). Together, it represents the complex puzzle she believes life to be.
When she first started her music career, she focused on hip-hop/R&B and Dutch-language songs. With her ‘coming of age’ (though it sounds odd, as she’s still so young), she has embraced English and an entirely new genre. Together with her band, Kesperanza Koan delivers an authentic ‘indie-rock-pop vibe’ on stage.
An intense collaboration with producer Remi De Roeck (Anders Media) consistently ensures that her songs sound radio-ready and destined to be hits.
