Terminal 1
Colloboh (a portmanteau of Collins Oboh) is a Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based experimental producer and composer who has spent the past several years cultivating genre-spanning modular wizardry.
A self-taught synthesist, Colloboh’s DIY recording diaries (still archived on Instagram) quickly amassed a dedicated online following. Eventually, his work caught the eye of Leaving Records founder Matthewdavid, who wasted no time tapping Colloboh to perform at the monthly Leaving Records showcase, Listen to Music Outside In The Daylight Under a Tree.
In 2021, Colloboh permanently relocated to Los Angeles from Baltimore, dedicating himself to music fulltime, and quickly became a fixture of the city’s vibrant experimental scene. Whereas Colloboh’s 2021 debut EP Entity Relation dove headlong into club beats, his latest album Saana Sahel, released in May 2023 on Leaving Records, showcases the breadth of the composer’s ambitions as he asserts himself with his forward-thinking musical arrangements.
