Or Koskas
Or KosKas is an artist – singer-songwriter, musician “guitarist and pianist” in the genre of French pop.
Or started his musical studies as a classical guitarist at the conservatory at a very young age, and by the age of 12, he had already won his first competitions. Music is not only a passion for him but also his daily life in which he expresses himself fully and flourishes: on stage, he feels “himself & at home”.
In 2014, he released his first EP “Trois mots tout bas” in collaboration with his friend Netanel Shavin and directed his music video “Take your way”.
In 2016, he released his first album “Partout Nulle Part” surrounded by a solid team of authors, composers, and musicians; among them Claude Lemesle (L’été indien), Jean-marie Moreau (On écrit sur les murs), Samuel Leroy (Bernique)… They signed some of his songs. That same year, he won the Audience Award at the “Balavoine” competition in Paris, at the Réservoir.
From then on, his audience grew: he performed in concerts at the Cigale, the Palais des Congrès, le Réservoir, le Casino de Paris, as well as in various cabarets and event halls.
In 2017, he won the Jury Prize at the “New Talents of Wissous” competition and won two other awards in the “Stringed Instrument and Voice” category at the Europe competition.
In August 2018, in Moscow, he represented France at the international pop competition (Pirogovsky Rassvet) and won 3rd place.
Moreover, he does not hesitate to cross borders: he sings in various European countries, the Middle East, and the United States.
In 2019, his album was presented on Michel Drucker’s show, and he also participated in the inauguration of the Strasbourg Christmas market with Chimène Badi and Anaïs Delva in front of 20,000 people.
His influences and inspirations are rich and varied: French pop; classical music, American soul, Latino, and flamenco are present in his musical universe.
As an independent artist, Or KosKas also likes to work in collaboration. For him, each exchange is enriching, opens up new horizons, and brings new and beautiful energies.
In his second album “Décollage immédiat”, Or KosKas worked closely with Samuel Leroy. They offer us a remarkable work around 13 unreleased tracks. This album also includes an exclusive track written by Frédéric Zeitoun: “Où est le tube”.
In 2022, Or Koskas’ team grew. Samuel Leroy, Guillaume Boscaro, Valentin Franceries, and Or recorded five new songs, including “Chtanèmou,” which was mixed & mastered by Luca Pretolesi, the rest of the tracks by Nate Shavin & Maor Appelbaum, and Or launched this EP in the legendary venue “Zèbre de Belleville” in Paris.
The greatest wealth for an artist is their audience! And Or KosKas loves it! On stage but also on social networks, where he is active and always available.
