We had the good fortune of connecting with Casey Cosmos and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Casey, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I try to consult with my intuition as often as possible. Therefore when my intuition says go I go. Although there may be reluctance, hesitation or doubt initially, I move forward.

Listening to ones intuition often requires a risk and the reward is ALWAYS greater than the risk. There is no real blueprint to success as an artist so risk taking is paramount in order to keep momentum.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
At the core of my artistry, I am a performer. I engage with live audiences, and whether it’s one person or 1,000, I give it my all!
I’m proud to have made a name for myself, from Dallas to Honolulu. The future is bright, and I’m ready to expand my brand even further.

Because there’s no real blueprint for how to rise as a creative—it’s definitely an unbeaten path. That said, I’ve been fortunate to have a solid group of supportive friends and family by my side.

The encouragement of loved ones has been a huge motivational force. I’ve faced many challenges, from race and age to skill, but perseverance and the will to keep going and learning have always carried me through.

I want my brand to represent the possibility that you can achieve anything you TRULY desire. Just remember to be real with yourself and others. Don’t reinvent the wheel—just put your own rims on it, haha!
I want to show the world that a kid from Memphis, TN, and Dallas, TX, can achieve his goals—and so can you!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Dallas has so much to offer! From catching a show at the COSM Theatre—home to one of the largest screens in the world—to exploring the city’s trippy museums and pop-ups, there’s always something exciting to do.

You can’t miss It’ll Do! They host amazing house music shows every weekend. And Jack’s House is definitely a top spot for after-hours dancing, one of the best in the city!

For food, Zalat is a must for incredible pizza, and Oni Ramen serves up some of the best ramen you’ll ever have!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to give a special shoutout to everyone that helped and participated in LifeForce with me. I also want to shoutout Willie Trimmer and John Wayne for keep Jack’s House alive!

On Oahu, I’d like to shout Resonance Theory, Atmosphere, Vibelab, Jasper Wong, Metta, and Audiophile. Forgive me to any names or organizations I may have forgotten but these all stand amongst the ones that have been a huge support so far in my journey!
