Sean Cos Mason: My stage name is Sean Cos Mason I grew up in Montclair, NJ. At an early age my mother introduced me to different genres of music, from classical, jazz, disco, club, opera and more; through her “Music Appreciated” college course.

In my choral music class, we went to different schools to put on concerts. Right then and there, I knew my love for music had grown with a strong passion for learning more.
At the age of 17 years old, I began to attend local rap battles. From the age to 17 to 20, I had performed in multiple underground venues, and rap battles with my battle group called, “When Animalz Attack.” I used to run rap battle leagues and pick a lot of New Jersey’s talent to go to perform worldwide.
