Birthed on Toy Tonics, as the first vocalist on their roster, while on the label delivering 5 eps and a stellar album which got support from radio stations ranging from Europe, America to South Africa, with coverage in the form of an entire two page centrefold in Germany's second largest newspaper, the Berliner Zeitung, following his features in Wonderland Magazine, to Hype Magazine, and Metal Magazine for his impressive debut album "Groove Religion", Kosmo has only given us a hint of what's to come from this dynamic ranging singer, songwriter and performer.
Kosmo Kint - born and raised in NYC to Trinidadian parents and now based in Berlin - brings together the musical heritage of the two cities: the soul of NYC and the dance floor vibes of Berlin. Kosmo weaves a subtle path from uplifting disco and house to sensibilities for American R&B, soul and hip hop artists.
Kosmo has a wide musical background. With his grandfather being one of the pioneers of the steel pan alongside Lord Kitchener, Kosmo has been tapped into music from day 1. Attending New York's prestigious Professional Performing Arts School, followed by the New England Conservatory, he’s had the opportunity to share the stage with musical icons incl. Elton John, Alicia Keys, Winton Marsalis as a backing singer. In 2016 Kosmo left NYC to move to the creative melting pot of Berlin. Writing for Grammy award winning producers such as Michael Malih and David Morales, and electronic artists like Daniel Grunberg and Catz’n’Dogz to name a few, he signed to Toy Tonics shortly after. After four guest appearances on EPs by his fellow Toy Tonics artists, Kosmo now gives us a chance to fully indulge in his very own world with his debut album ‘Groove Religion’.
Kosmo defines himself as a wordsmith and soundweaver, fully surrendering himself to the lyrics and mood of the instrumental canvas. Finding inspiration through positivity, and storytelling in his lyrics. Harnessing the power to turn any challenge, pain or hurt into a musical lesson his listeners can apply to themselves for empowerment.
What would his wonderful debut album be without all the songs that can turn every boring morning into a house party, instantly making you move and swing. ‘Groove Religion' is one of them; it doesn’t only give the album its name but also serves as a reminder of Kosmo’s and Toy Tonics’ maxim: leave your problems behind and get into the groove. Join the Groove Religion and things will get better from here.
