What is Kolo

A stage for Liberian talent and a fair deal for the people on it.

Kolo is the streaming home for Liberian entertainment. Fans discover and enjoy music, film, shorts, books, live shows and more; while creators upload their work, keep their rights, and get paid directly from their fans. If a Liberian makes something worth paying for, Kolo makes sure they get paid.

What's next

Kolo is coming to the open web

The app is only the beginning. We're building kolo1847.com into a public home for Liberian culture, with pages you can find on Google, open on any phone, and share straight to WhatsApp.

๐ŸŽค

A page for every artist

Every Kolo artist and every song gets its own public page: their story, their county, their catalog, and one tap into the app to stream or support. Share an artist the way you share a website, because it is one.

Kolo Bookings

Book Liberian talent for your next event

Artists, comedians, MCs, DJs and dancers list what they do and what they charge. Event hosts find them, book them, and pay through Kolo.

๐ŸŽค

For talent

Create a booking profile with your category, your county and your rate. Once our team approves it, you show up when hosts search for someone like you. Every booking you accept is paid into your Kolo Wallet.

๐ŸŽช

For event hosts

Planning a wedding, a show, a launch or a graduation? Browse approved talent by category and county, see their rate up front, and send a booking request with your date and venue.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Paid safely, both ways

Your fee is held by Kolo once the talent accepts, and only released after the event. If a booking is cancelled, the host is refunded in full. No chasing anyone for money.
