Born in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania and raised in Orlando, Florida, Kevin Cossom first found his love and talent for song in church. Kevin's mother is an educator and founder of a performing arts academy- was her son's first supporter, encouraging him to perform his first solo at the tender age of three. He later joined his first group, a gospel act his mother assembled, at the age of six. However,theyoungsinger/songwriter didn't realize that he wanted to make music his life until he was 14. Once the high school-aged Kevin met Rashad Tyler, his manager, that's when things began to click for the young upstart.

It didn't take long for the hungry rookie to get put on. In 2004, he was featured on his first song, Lloyd Bank's "Karma." Thanks to fellow Orlando sons/producers The Runners, Kevin followed that up with his first songwriting credit when he penned the R. Kelly hook on Young Jeezy's "Go Getta." He has also featured on albums from Beanie Sigel, Rick Ross, Chamillionaire, Trey Songz and Rocko, among others.

They're taking him serious now…in fact, it was those guest appearances that scored Kevin an audience with super producer Danja (Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake).

In an age of reality stars and hardcore hip-hoppers, it's good to see that there are some artists who are still doing this for the love of the music. Whether it's his moving voice or his soulful songwriting, Kevin's love and passion for the game is what will have his fans wanting more.
