Biography

Benji Cossa makes sincerely beautiful homemade melodic pop with roots. Hear his mad-genius charm, glorious ragged edges, and other-worldly singing. His is direct, joyful, and richly detailed music made by a very nice man who enjoys flying a kite.Benji Cossa began writing and recording songs in 1995. Since then he’s amassed a treasure trove of undiscovered lo-fi AM gold, the latest of which is Benji Cossa and the Tightens, a 70s styled, country-pickled full band live-in-the-studio romp with a shit-hot all-star band. Think Sweetheart of the Rodeo /Tupelo Honey. Prior to that, in 2007 Serious Business Records issued Between the Blue and the Green, a small wonder of infinitely pleasing home-made pop. Benji's hot streak will continue in 2010 when he releases his next record, currently being crafted with Travis Harrison at the Serious Business studios in NYC. People will listen to Benji's music for their whole lives.
