Jeremiah Cossa

Musician

Jeremiah was born in Northern California but spent the early years of his life in Swaziland, Africa, where he began playing piano at age 6. He and his family moved to Lake Elsinore, California when he was 11 and he continued playing through middle and high school, before going on to attend Azusa Pacific University for a BM in Piano Performance. While there, Jeremiah diversified and expanded his skill set through a wide range of work and performing opportunites including playing for APU’s Men’s Chorale and Gospel Choir for two years each, accompanying instrumentalists and singers, playing in musical theater productions, and expanding his repertoire of Classical music with an emphasis on contemporary and underrepresented music. Jeremiah served as church musician for a year at St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Pomona. In 2015, Jeremiah moved to Boston to attend The Boston Conservatory for an MM in Piano Performance. Since graduating, Jeremiah remains active in the Boston arts scene as a soloist, chamber musician, jazz pianist, and improviser.
