Brief Bio
The ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) award-winning vocalist first fell in love with the freedom of the jazz art form in the early ’90s. Work with the JC Heard and Nelson Riddle Orchestra followed and led to the 1996 release of “All In A Dreams Work,” an impressive debut featuring a collection of nine originals and a cover of the Miles Davis composition “Four.”
Kosins’ 2002 release of “Mood Swings” continued to bring her recognition and success at a national level. In 2010, she took a new approach, releasing singles quarterly under the new Mahogany Digital label. Her newest CD, “The Space Between,” brings together some of L.A.’s best artists and features songs with jazz and R&B influences.
She has recorded with many well-known jazz and R&B artists, including Aaron Goldberg, Reuben Rogers, Eric Harland and Robert Hurst. The Chicago Tribune calls her “one of the most alluring voices in jazz.”
As a past recipient of the Michigan Council for the Arts Jazz Composer of the Year, Kosins has received grants from Michigan’s ArtServe advocacy group. Her clinics and workshops teach performance skills alongside business strategies for the independent artist and have been a success at colleges and universities across the United States.
