Kevin Bryant Cossom (born September 2, 1984) is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Orlando, Florida, Cossom has co-written hit songs for music industry artists including Keri Hilson ("Knock You Down" featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo), DJ Khaled ("Do You Mind", "I Wanna Be With You," and "Take It to the Head"), Rihanna, Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige, among others. His songwriting is often accompanied with productions by the Florida-based groups the Runners, the Inkredibles, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, DJ Nasty & LVM, and The Monarch, as well as Virginia-based producer Danja. As a recording artist, he provided an uncredited guest performance on Lloyd Banks' 2004 single, "Karma", which peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. He amassed numerous credits by the time he signed with Danja's record label, N.A.R.S., in a joint venture with Jive Records in 2009 to further pursue a recording career. His 2009 debut single, "You're a Star (You Know What You Doin’)" and its follow-ups "Late Night", "Baby I Like It" (featuring Fabolous and Diddy), and "Relax" (featuring Snoop Dogg), have each failed to chart and served as his only releases with the label.
