Kilamanzego ["kill-a-man's-ego"] is the artistic persona of Kay Oko, an avant-garde electronic musician and vocalist hailing from Philadelphia. Raised in the contrasting landscapes of New York City and Kentucky by a single Ghanaian father, Kilamanzego's journey in the world of music is as diverse as her background. Her musical evolution began as a child when she immersed herself in an array of genres, from alt rock and jazz to punk, metal, and ska. When she encountered the groundbreaking musical works of J Dilla while living between California and Istanbul, that sparked her foray into electronic music production. Kilamanzego's art is deeply rooted in her identity as a queer androgynous artist, and she uses her unique experiences to fuel her creative expression. In 2020, she unveiled her debut EP, "These Roots Are On Fire," capturing the attention of an ever-growing fanbase which included well-established musicians and producers, while attracting collaborations with renowned artists like Son Lux (“Everything Everywhere All At Once” soundtrack). With her 2023 EP "Black Weirdo" released through Get Better Records, Kilamanzego continues to evolve her craft. She has performed at major festivals, including Red Rocks and Shambhala Festival, and in the Fall of 2023, she expanded her influence by becoming a professor of Music Production at the university level, sharing her knowledge and passion with the next generation.
