Octavio Stokoff

Born in Germany but raised in Colombia, Stokoff began using songwriting to cope with his parent’s divorce when he was a teenager. His burgeoning interest in music dates back to the time when he lived in South America, and he spent several years searching for his musical identity before discovering that he wanted to challenge the boundaries of music in Spanish. In Colombia, his singles Si Tu no Estás, Quiero Ser and Todo ha Cambiado hit the top of the charts. Todo Ha Cambiado was also recently featured on Country Music’s Country Wide & Breaking Mexican Music playlists on Apple Music. His latest single Embrujo surpassed over one million views on YouTube. Throughout his career, Stokoff has performed at the Latin Billboards in Las Vegas and opened for Ricardo Arjona (Grammy and Latin Grammy Award Winner with 20 million records sold) and Franco de Vita (Latin Grammy and MTV Video Music Award winner). Stokoff also served as the Colombian representative at the Viña del Mar Song Festival in Chile for a crowd of over 24,000 viewers and a live broadcast in 55 countries appearing alongside the Backstreet Boys representing the U.S. He has since made the move to the U.S. and now calls Music City home with his wife and children.
