Biography
With influences ranging from jazz and blues to retro soul, downtempo R&B, and alt rock, BOSCO started releasing her wide-ranging alternative R&B material toward the end of the 2000s. Her 2008 Spectrum EP drew notice from select indie blogs and marked the second installment in an extended run of EPs. The artist finally issued her debut full-length, Some Day This All Will Make Sense, in 2020.
Brittany Bosco grew up in Savannah, Georgia, where she received formal training in choral and operatic singing prior to enrolling at the Savannah College of Art & Design. While there she cultivated an interest in visual arts through a fashion-design major and established the Big Up! collective, an interdisciplinary outfit that also included SCAD graduate Mr. Collins, a graphic designer and art director, along with the four-piece indie rock band Jack of Hearts.
Although BOSCO’s initial release, the 2008 City of Nowhere EP, attracted minimal attention, her next project, Spectrum, resonated with a number of music writers and helped expand her audience. Momentum increased in 2009 when Spectrum 2.0 appeared as a digital reissue containing extra tracks. Now based in Atlanta, she issued the standalone single “Ragdoll,” a gritty blues-rock number, in early 2010. Free to experiment, BOSCO teamed with Dog Bite of Washed Out for the conceptual six-track EP Pacer, whose heavily synthetic sound, processed vocals, and reverberant textures placed her within the emerging chillwave scene. She followed with the expansive The Scene EP in October 2011.
In 2015 BOSCO made her first appearance on New York’s Fool’s Gold label with the six-track Boy, then returned in 2017 with the more introspective B. EP. That set included guest appearances by NIIA, St. Beauty, and Anna Wise plus production contributions from REO, known for work with Beyoncé and Lil Wayne. BOSCO inaugurated her own Slug Records imprint in 2020 by releasing her first album, Some Day This All Will Make Sense.
