Kossy Martins

Kosisochukwu Martin M'Ono (born 16th December) is an afro-fusion artist/producer from Anambra State, Nigeria. 

Born into a family of academics, he, however, developed a deep love for sound and musical instruments as a teenager. So, he took guitar, keyboard, and voice lessons in his early 20s. He then taught himself music production.

A friend introduced him to the band, Bastille. He fell in love with the band and idolized its lead singer: Dan Smith. 
Understudying Dan Smith helped him gain confidence in his voice; he believes he has the same vocal register as Dan Smith.

His other influences include Joseph Tyler, Jon Bellion, Burna Boy, Falz and Fireboy.

He also fancies humor as the greatest art form and as a "coping mechanism". He idolizes Dave Chapelle, Trevor Noah, and Basket Mouth.
