Local Art Dealer vol. 1

Local Art Dealer Vol. 1 marks the beginning of a new album series by Kota the Friend, rooted in freedom of expression and creative authenticity. In the words of Kota the Friend, “This album is the most vulnerable piece of work I’ve released in years. I am very proud of it, no matter the outcome. I poured my whole heart into it.” Local Art Dealer Vol. 1 captures moments of reflection, growth, and self-trust, music created without compromise, expectation, or rush. It’s an honest snapshot of where Kota is both creatively and personally, inviting listeners into a space where truth and artistry come first.
