Through her music, she tells stories about Jamaicans and of her childhood in Jamaica. She began singing in her church choir at a young age, and taught herself to play guitar by the time she was 12.
Koffee released her first single, Legend, about world champion Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, on her Instagram account. The song went viral after Bolt reposted it on his page. She sang the song, with Bolt in attendance, when a statue of him was unveiled in Kingston in December 2017.
Her music also addresses the violence and social problems in her country. "With a lot of my music, it's about entertaining people while highlighting problems in order to try and find a solution," Koffee says on her website. "I genuinely want to make the world a better place.
She continues to astound the world with her music. Her debut extended play album, Rapture, won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae album, making her the youngest artist and the first woman to win that award. The five-song EP topped the Billboard charts in its first week, and remained there for 32 weeks.
She begins a three-month tour through the UK, Canada, and the United States in March. That same month, her second album, Gifted, will be released.
