As a musician, she sang and played keyboards and guitar. She was a backing musician for The Only Ones, [2] [3] and fronted her own band Lonesome No More. [4] [5] Her sister Zena Kakoulli was married to Peter Perrett and managed both bands. [6] Her brother Harri Kakoulli later became the bassist of the band Squeeze. [7]

She was found dead in the Brighton Dungeon on 3 August 2018, at the age of 56. Although traces of multiple drugs were found in her system, an inquest reached an open verdict. [1] At the inquest into her death, the coroner described her thus: "Of the many people i’ve met, Koulla was one of the most amazing. Leading her life as she wanted to. Extraordinarily well organised with a huge number of people who loved her." [14]
