Biography
Singer/songwriter Tony Kosinec launched his extensive recording journey in 1969 via the Columbia Records album Processes alongside its accompanying single “Simple Emotion.” Additional albums appeared across the following twenty years, and at least one received a reissue during the 1990s. Entering the new millennium, Kosinec remained active in music by composing scores for television productions, among them the CBS miniseries Joan of Arc.
Although raised in Toronto, Canada, Kosinec initiated his professional career south of the border. Appearances in New York included opening slots for contemporary headliners such as Blood, Sweat & Tears, experiences that sharpened his skills and helped cultivate an independent audience during the 1960s. Early momentum carried through his debut album and its 1970 follow-up Bad Girl Songs. The third release, Consider the Heart, delivered his first major breakthrough with the hit single “All Things Come From God.”
While further recordings emerged throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Kosinec pursued additional creative avenues, occasionally taking acting roles and devoting substantial time to jingle composition, including the theme song for the Toronto Blue Jays baseball franchise. In 1998 the album Bad Girl Songs returned to the market, featuring tracks such as “I Use Her,” “Come and Go,” “The Sun Wants Me to Love You,” “Dinner Time,” “The World Still,” and “Me and My Friends.” Shortly afterward he began developing fresh material for a new album while assembling earlier recordings for a prospective “best-of” anthology.
