Producer, composer, songwriter, and pianist Kosta Lois is quickly making a name for himself in the LA music scene as someone who represents a keen fusion of current pop and high artistic integrity. Lois accomplishes this fusion through his unique musical background.
Since moving to LA, Lois has built his studio and reputation by recording scores of artists, working with dozens of current hit songwriters, and developing a sound that masterfully blends his classical music education with his passion for pop, dance, and jazz music. This sonic unity is perhaps best exemplified through his collaboration with Hollie LA, a singer and songwriter Lois has been working with since 2006. Their song, "Domesticate It," has been heard on NBC's The Office, while the subsequent album, Unlocked, has been featured on more than a dozen television networks and shows, including MTV, Telemundo, TBS, E!, Tia & Tamera, and Jersey Couture.
