Gervais Koffi

Singer - Bass Player - Songwriter - Producer

Born in the Ivory Coast (West Africa), Gervais Koffi has travelled the world performing and recording with world-class musicians and producers. After a very successful musical career in Johannesburg he decided to explore the music scene in Australia in 1998. Ever since he has been entertaining his audience in all major venues and festivals in the country.

VIDEO PRODUCTION

Blessed with a strong musical background and acting experience, I started to develop my audio visual appetite when promoting my musical prodigy son.  My video was used on the famous Oprah Winfrey Show in 2008.

My drive and passion for music and all things visual culminated in the filming and editing of a number of music videos.

In December 2012, after 2 years of full-time study at SIFA (Sydney Institute of Film Academy) I was awarded with the Advanced Diploma in Screen and Media. During that time I had the opportunity to work with film producers, camera crews, sound department and film editors. I was entrusted with the role of main editior of most of the short films and documentaries produced by the students. 

A particular highlight in my career to date has been in 2011 when I managed to rescue a performance which aired on SBS (the Ethnic Business Awards 2011). My experience in both music and sound came in handy when  syncing the video  with the sound of an entire live performance.
