[edit] Biography
Cosmo Klein was born in Lippstadt but raised in Dortmund, Germany. At the age of ten he and his parents moved to Texas, where he expanded his interest in music and started playing the guitar. Three years later the family returned home after the end of his father's deployment in El Paso.
Back in Germany Cosmo decided to leave school before his highschool graduation, instead founding his own event agency Smartcorehotel. By a fortunate coincidence he was introduced to singer Sasha, who engaged Klein to write for his sophomore album and helped him to sign a contract with Warner Music.
As a result Comso released his bilingual debut album This Is My Time in 2003. The CD spawned three singles, including the radio hits "All I Ever Need" and "Baby Don't Cry". Afterwards he teamed up with newcomer Maya Saban for their duet "Das Alles Ändert Nichts Daran". The song managed to peak at number 11 on the German singles charts and became Kleins biggest chart success to date.
After months of writing and recording Klein's second album, Human (originally planned to be released in January 2006) was finally released in August 2006. So far, the album has spwaned two singles with "Nothing to Lose", and "I Love You".
