Laetitia Tamko, known professionally as Vagabon, was born in Yaoundé, Cameroon, on October 25, 1992. At the age of 13, she relocated to New York with her family. She later attended and graduated from the Grove School of Engineering at the City College of New York in 2015. Vagabon’s musical journey began at age 17 when her parents gifted her a Fender acoustic guitar, which she learned to play using instructional DVDs. In 2014, she started uploading her original music to Bandcamp under the moniker Vagabon, initiating her career as a recording artist.
Since her debut, Vagabon has consistently demonstrated her versatility as a musician and producer. Her 2017 album, “Infinite Worlds,” showcased her talents across vocals, guitar, drums, keyboard, and synth. In 2018, she received an invitation to open for Courtney Barnett’s North American summer tour, a significant milestone in her career. Vagabon’s self-titled second album, released in 2019 under Nonesuch, marked a deliberate shift in her artistic direction. She self-produced this work, consciously moving away from being pigeonholed within the indie-rock genre by incorporating digital sounds and synth strings alongside her acoustic guitar. This album featured songs written and played predominantly by Tamko herself, including “Every Woman,” which she described as a young feminist’s manifesto. This period represented a pivotal turning point, allowing her to prioritize a genre-fluid approach to her music.
In 2023, Vagabon released her third studio album, “Sorry I Haven’t Called,” further solidifying her genre-bending approach, which she developed after a period of personal reflection and healing. This album, which she worked on with HAIM producer Rostam, is characterized by vibrant melodies and dance music elements, aimed at uplifting energy and connecting audiences. Her music has been featured in popular media, including her cover of “If I Loved You” in the 2023 film “Red, White, & Royal Blue.” Vagabon has also performed at notable events such as the Newport Folk Festival in July 2021 and has toured supporting artists like Arlo Parks across the USA and Europe, including a performance at the Hammersmith Apollo in London.
