01 / THE ARTIST
A world of sound.
A language of his own.
From Balkan melodies to dancefloor rhythms, Costi moves between pop, reggae and Latin music. His visual world brings the same range to the screen: bold costumes, choreography and cinematic sets.

02 / IN THE STUDIO
Where collaborations
become records.
The recording room is central to Costi’s work. He writes and produces across styles, bringing artists together around songs rather than a single genre.
His credits include “Dame” and “Fired Up” for Shaggy. International collaborations connect his Romanian roots with voices from other music scenes.
