They say that it is best to
surround yourself with people who believe in your dream, that doing so will
help you flourish in whatever it is you aim to achieve. Brooklyn native Kewin
Cosmos has sure mastered the art of surrounding himself with positive people
who encourage his success and believe in his dream. With a current following of over ten thousand
on Twitter, more than five hundred YouTube subscribers, and over a thousand
likes on his Facebook music page it is no wonder that Kewin is always working hard
to create new music and material for his fans—Team Cosmos.
Kewin has been surrounded by
music since he was very young, and says that at the age of eight he learned
songs by artists like Usher and Marc Anthony without even knowing how they’d
been submitted to memory. “We had a cassette player and I was just learning all
the songs…I would just sing and sing,” he says. As a teen, Kewin spent some time in the
Dominican Republic where his neighbor’s singing voice made a huge impression on
him, “He sang a lot and taught me how to sing with feeling.” He recalls a time when this man, was singing
in a park, “Since that day I was like man, I have to sing.” From there, he went on to perfect his voice
and never gave up, he describes his first studio experience with much joy
saying “The first time I went into an actual studio I almost fainted, I wanted
to stay there!”
When he was younger, Kewin
went to a music store and bought whatever equipment he could afford with the
money he had. Then, went home and taught
himself how to assemble everything. “I
don’t want to hold myself back so I’m always working and training myself to be
where I want to be,” he says, “…when I make something and it sounds really good
that makes me so happy…music is what makes me.”
Saying motivated in this
industry is an uphill battle but Kewin finds ways to keep going. “Honestly, my mom is more motivation toward
making it in life. When we were younger
we had a hard time…she is my motivation to keep doing.” he says. “My friends [also] keep me motivated. Victor Cruz, and Wilbur and Dawin Polanco
they write things that are like ‘wow.’”
Kewin’s describes his fans
as the most rewarding feature of what he does “I can see they love what I
do.” In the coming months, Kewin will be
working on a lot of interviews and promotional materials to help his fans get
to know him better. “I have music videos
coming up,” he says, and is looking to interact more and more with his
supporters, Team Cosmos.
Kewin's Bachata Medley with songs from artists such as Aventura, Prince Royce, Xtreme, and Romeo Santos earned his vocals a good reputation before releasing his current EP. Kewin’s EP
Encuentro y Olvido which you can listen to and download below has six
original tracks whose sound and lyrics are sure to touch your soul; Kewin’s two
favorites being Crater Volcanico and Imaginate. “Crater
Volcanico…I just feel like there’s an emotion behind that song and Imaginate, you know guys, we want to do
so much with a girl in a relationship,” he laughs.
Last week, Kewin was able to
showcase his talent at Pedro’s Kitchen and Brew in Williamsburg Brooklyn where
his family, friends, and fans alike were able to see him doing what he
loves. The quality of his voice in the
live scene did not disappoint when compared to his studio-recorded music and he
was able to keep the audience entertained with his dancing and crowd
interaction. The energy in the room was
incredible and he sang with an emotion that moved the room.
With the right people in
his corner and a talent that cannot be questioned Kewin is on his way to the
top. His message to the world is one of
inspiration, “As a kid my brothers, mom, [and I] were in a place where we had
[no] chance of achieving any goals. I just want the world to know that no
matter how hard life gets, believe in the fighter that's [within]
you! …We all have it, and when we have nothing left [it’s] the best time
to use him or her. I've used [the fighter in me] as much as I can & I stand
achieving my goals. So live and succeed like
it’s your last chance.”
