Laetitia Tamko (born October 25, 1992), better known by her stage name Vagabon, is a Cameroonian-American self-taught multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and music producer based in New York City.
Initially, Tamko had been working on a follow-up project to Infinite Worlds in 2018. However, she scrapped it entirely to prioritize a genre-fluid approach to her next album. Her self-titled second album (Nonesuch, 2019) is self-produced and explores new sounds. It features digital sounds and synth strings alongside her delicate acoustic guitar. Most of the songs are written and played by the artist herself. "We reserve the right to be full when we’re on our own", she sings on her song "Every Woman". Released as a single and official video which can be seen on her website, the song is a young feminist's manifesto. The album also represents a move beyond the indie-rock scene, the shift in sound a "rejection of being pigeonholed."
Vagabon was part of the Newport Folk Festival in July 2021.
In 2023, Vagabon's cover of "If I Loved You" appeared in the film, Red, White, & Royal Blue.
