Self-taught pianist Jude Kofie releases debut after life-changing grand piano gift
Colorado teen Jude Kofie taught himself piano by ear from age 10, and his journey received a turning point when a stranger bought him a $15,000 grand piano and funded lessons. Now a debut album, Introducing Jude Kofie, is out with Octave Records, showcasing his ability to span jazz, gospel, Latin, soul and pop, and reflecting his path from home keyboard to recording artist despite early health challenges including prematurity and autism.
