ABOUT
Kosta Theodosis is a highly accomplished Australian studio and touring drummer based in Toowoomba, Queensland. He has played with an impressive array of artists including Robbie Williams, Delta Goodrem, Amy Shark & Conrad Sewell, Illy, Thelma Plum, Leo Sayer, Bag Raiders, Miami Horror, Mashd N Kutcher, MAY-A, The Kite String Tangle, Eves Karydas, Eliza & The Delusionals, Asta, Cleopold, Louie Shelton (of The Wrecking Crew), the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, KLP, Airling, and Dash & Will (Mercury Records).
A key highlight of his career was serving as a member of the platinum-selling, ARIA-nominated rock band Amy Meredith (Sony Music), a role that further cemented his reputation as a dynamic and sought-after performer.
Kosta’s journey behind the drums began in his hometown of Toowoomba, where his passion was ignited at the age of 11. He refined his skills under the guidance of some of Australia’s finest drummers—a dedication that was rewarded when he clinched first place at the national Billy Hyde Drummers Play Off in 2007, at just 19 years old.
In 2006, Kosta broadened his musical horizons by studying jazz and improvisation at the prestigious Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. During this time, he embarked on international tours with Brisbane’s Raw Dance Company, setting the stage for a flourishing professional career that has taken him across the globe.
Over the years, Kosta has performed in more than 20 countries, from intimate clubs to massive stadiums and some of the world’s most iconic venues across Australia, North America, South America, Europe, the UK, Asia, and the Middle East. His drumming prowess has also graced major live TV broadcasts, including the Australian Idol Grand Final, The X Factor, The Morning Show, Sunrise, Hey Hey It's Saturday, The ARIA Awards, the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Revolt TV, Last Call with Carson Daly, and The State of Origin, among many others.
An ardent advocate of quality instrumentation, Kosta endorses and performs with Paiste cymbals, Remo drumheads, Vic Firth drumsticks and Protection Racket cases.
