Hey David Kofi, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your music career. Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?
I started playing keyboard in church aged 13 years. I started piano learning at school at aged 8 but I enjoyed it more when I was introduced to Gospel music.
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
I have a gospel background which is a big part of my playing. I have R&B, neo-soul, and jazz influences infused into my playing.

What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look to your work?
Find an artist you like and study them as much as you can. For me, Robert Glasper is someone I look up to. I would also encourage artists to find a part-time job to help fund their music career if possible. Have a plan and don’t be scared to ask for help.
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
I have my second EP ‘Kokoro’ coming out on Friday 10th September

Chris Brown Strikes Back: A $500M Legal Battle Against Warner Bros Over Controversial Docuseries
Chris Brown is making headlines with a massive $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and a production company called Ample Entertainment. He says their new docuseries, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” is filled with exaggerations about him. This lawsuit, filed on January 21, places Brown at the center of a hot debate about how the media tells stories about public figures.
The docuseries focuses on his troubled past, featuring controversial moments that have shaped how the public views him. However, Brown’s team claims that it goes beyond just telling facts. They argue that it uses misleading claims that hurt his reputation. His legal team feels that the series paints him negatively, ignoring how he has grown since past incidents.
Throughout his career, he has been a celebrated musician, dancer, and figure surrounded by controversy. As of now, Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have not responded to the lawsuit. However, this case raises important questions about what filmmakers should and shouldn’t do when telling stories about real people. For Brown, this lawsuit is not just about seeking money; it’s about taking control of how his life story is shared.
He feels frustrated with an entertainment industry that, focuses more on drama than the truth. Reactions to his lawsuit have been mixed. Some supporters argue that the media often emphasizes Brown’s wrongdoings while ignoring his creative contributions. Critics, however, see the lawsuit as an effort to avoid facing honest criticism. As this situation unfolds, it’s clear that Chris Brown is not just after $500 million; he’s also fighting for how his life story is perceived. Whether he will win this battle remains uncertain, but it is already creating discussions about the influence of the media.
