Aninooritsewarami Alero Oritsesan, known by her stage name Kold AF, is a 23-year-old sensation from Delta, Nigeria. Proud of her Southern Nigerian roots, Kold AF’s music draws deeply from the rich traditions of artists like Burna Boy, Asa, and Cynthia Morgan, while blending global influences from Rihanna, Mahalia, and Sean Paul. Her sound is an exciting fusion of Afrobeats, reggae, dancehall, R&B, and soul, creating a unique musical identity that’s as bold as it is captivating.

The Journey to Kold AF

Although Kold AF’s career started in 2020, her passion for music goes back to childhood. Initially, she pursued a Law degree at Obafemi Awolowo University but soon realized her true calling was in music. Despite the risks, Kold AF chose to dive into the music industry headfirst, releasing two compelling projects: the EP Kold Szn in 2022 and Kollided in 2023, a collaboration with French producer BGRZ.

Kold AF’s Latest Release: KAUTION

Kold AF recently dropped her highly anticipated EP KAUTION, a project that showcases her artistic evolution. She describes this EP as a departure from her earlier work, urging fans to “LISTEN KAUTIOUSLY.” Tracks like “Chess and Checkers” and “Tension” reveal her talent for blending AfroFusion with elements of reggae and R&B, all while maintaining a strong lyrical presence.

Musical Influences and Style

Kold AF’s sound is as versatile as it is eclectic. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres, her music refuses to be confined to one style. She effortlessly mixes Afrobeats, soul, and dancehall, allowing her to explore new sounds with every project. This diversity is a reflection of her childhood, where she was exposed to everything from R&B and rap to reggae.

Advocacy Beyond Music

Beyond her music, Kold AF is an advocate for human rights and equality, reflecting her deep sense of moral responsibility in her lyrics. Tracks like “No Pity,” released in collaboration with Aema for International Women’s Day, tackle important social issues and highlight the struggles women face, making Kold AF a voice for both music and change.

What’s Next for Kold AF?

Kold AF’s future is bright, with her name already making waves in the Nigerian music scene. In January 2023, she was listed as one of the “18 Nigerian Artists to Watch for in 2023,” and in April 2024, she was named Spotify’s Equal Africa Ambassador. With more music on the way and a growing fanbase, Kold AF is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting new voices in AfroFusion.

Conclusion

Kold AF is more than just a rising star; she is a bold, fearless artist who brings her own perspective to the ever-evolving Nigerian music scene. With her powerful vocals, raw lyrics, and diverse sound, she’s one to watch in the coming years.
