On October 31, 2025, acclaimed cellist, composer, and sonic storyteller Okorie “OkCello” Johnson releases his fourth and most personal album to date, Funny How Things Work Out. The record is a bold step forward, an exploration of trust, faith, and creative freedom that fuses the familiar intimacy of his solo, looped cello performances with new collaborations and daring soundscapes.

Reuniting the virtuoso musicians behind last spring’s sold-out castle residency, the live production blends cinematic storytelling, genre-spanning anthems, and theatrical surprises designed to blur the line between audience and adventure.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the world’s largest nonprofit HIV/AIDS healthcare organization, hosts the event which raises more than $1 million each year for 12 metro-Atlanta-based HIV/AIDS service organizations. The day will start with a 5K walk/run and culminate with a music festival featuring a performance by CeeLo. Past AIDS Walk Atlanta artists have included Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Monica, Sevyn Streeter, Ashanti, Wale, and Trina.
