What does true creativity look like when it emerges naturally, without the pressure of metrics, followers, or commercial viability? Our debut episode features KOROstyle, a remarkable artist whose creative journey spans continents, cultures, and multiple art forms.
Born in France to Senegalese parents and raised in America, Sadyr Diouf aka KOROstyle discovered his artistic voice through anime drawing, breakdancing, parkour, and eventually music production. Unlike many creative paths shaped by formal training or parental encouragement, his emerged organically from childhood boredom in the pre-smartphone era. ”Back then, in the early 2000s, we didn't have the internet like we do today,” he reflects. ”We were kind of left to play with toys and just make something of this length of time that we had.”
The conversation takes fascinating turns as we explore how Bristol's underground music scene shaped his sound, how the iconic KOROcat mascot represents rebellion and playfulness, and his unexpected journey into Hollywood modeling and acting alongside Beyoncé and Alicia Keys. But what truly distinguishes this discussion is Sadyr's refreshingly authentic philosophy toward creativity.
While most artists fixate on audience reception and legacy, KOROstyle approaches his work with rare detachment from external validation. ”This is a pure personal journey for me,” he explains, challenging the contemporary creative culture that measures artistic value through metrics and commercial success. His perspective on how our brains interpret art—”Everything we observe, we observe not in full”—offers profound insight into why controlling audience perception is ultimately impossible.
Whether you're a music producer, visual artist, performer, or simply curious about the creative process, this conversation will transform how you think about artistic expression, cultural identity, and the pursuit of authentic creativity in a world obsessed with quantifiable success.
