We had the good fortune of connecting with Kosta Lois and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kosta, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I really believe that achieving successes while on the road to the bigger career goals, requires a strong belief in yourself and what you are doing plus taking risks on people and situations. It is always worth it in the end. The biggest example for me is that I take risks on unknown talent all of the time. If I believe strongly in their talent and that it compliments what I do as a producer, I always will try to see if we can create music that is special or that pushes their limits to new heights.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a musician, composer, songwriter, engineer, manager and producer. Just the fact that I wear so many hats I feel sets me apart from other people in the music business. But when it comes to my music and my work, was sets me apart is that I really strive to get to the heart of this song I am writing or producing. To create something very honest without holding back.

Which brings me to what I’m most proud of these days. My record label, Onesta Music Group, which combines that manifesto into a record label of songs and artists that are very special to me. My best work ever.

My drive is how I got to where I am today. I am lucky because I have a very clear vision of what I’m trying to do and I continue to develop my craft to where I am very confident of my skill level and where I can really add to an artist or project.

But there are so many people who really talk a lot about how good they are. To me you really have to put in the work and prove it.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to dedicate my shout out to all of the incredible artists that have put their trust in me to be the producer/collaborator of their music. It’s a great honor for me when a talented artist wants to work with me.
