Antoniette Costa

Antoniette Costa is an Italian-American singer-songwriter and co-founder of Humans of Fashion Foundation. Costa composed the song "Void of a Legend" which featured the beatboxer and cellist Kevin Olusola. The song topped the Classical Crossover charts and was covered by French Band L.E.J. In 2016, Costa released "The Triptyq Sessions" as part of the musical trio Triptyq, which featured Olusola (beatboxing, cello) and Tara Kamangar (piano, violin). The music video for "Mr. Right" produced by James Poyser featured cameos by Margot Robbie and Valentina Zelyaeva.

Costa has collaborated with or performed alongside artists such as The Roots, Jazmine Sullivan, Bilal, Eric Roberson, and Carvin Haggins. She released her debut album Breakthru in March 2005, and has additionally recorded over a dozen singles with musicians such as Jazzyfatnastees, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Kindred the Family Soul and Grammy Award winners James Poyser and Questlove.

She has performed and directed live in-studio recording sessions in New York City open to the public, drawing largely from Columbia University's student body where Costa is a student. Called the "Track 14 Sessions," guest musicians have included members of The Roots and Nikki Jean.
