Campana is a boundary-pushing artist from Bremerton, WA, raised in Seattle. He first emerged as the charismatic frontman of the award-winning band COSMOS, winners of Seattle’s MoPop “Sound Off!” in 2016. COSMOS quickly became a staple of the Pacific Northwest scene, performing on major stages like Capitol Hill Block Party, Bumbershoot, and Sasquatch! Festival. Their debut album MOONSHINE earned national acclaim and a performance slot at Prince’s Paisley Park for MUSICOLOGY.
As a solo act, Campana has continued to blaze his own path. His 2021 debut solo album Matter of Time—written and produced during the pandemic—was named one of The Seattle Times’ “Top 16 Albums of 2021.” Its accompanying short film won the Audience Award at Black Film Fest ATL, with screenings and nominations across the country. Campana’s music has reached global audiences through major sync placements, including a feature in Donald Glover’s Atlanta (FX) and the 2025 Issa Rae-produced film One of Them Days, starring Keke Palmer and SZA.
