Chasing the melodies that give you the feels and stir the deepest emotions. I bring a great performance with a unique warm tone that sounds authentic. I've often been compared to Brandon Flowers, Mikky Ekko, and several times even Bono. I will always deliver a great hook.
Great melodies and catchy hooks. I will deliver a genuine believable performance that is fully edited, pitched and produced. I write rather quickly as well.
I've released two EP's that were written and co-produced by myself. I now write and tour with my band Young in a Million (Middle of my reel). I've toplined for DJ's in Italy, Colombia, Brazil, Australia and the U.S. I have performed with artists such as Switchfoot, For King and Country, Coldplay, Maroon 5, and Shawn Mendes. The electronic world seems to really gravitate toward my voice, however I have done several rock and pop songs.

Kody is such a talented writer and vocalist. His tone and vocal range is incredible. Great communication through the entire project and delivered the lyrics/vocals on time. I highly recommend Koby! I will be doing more projects with him in the near future.

It was absolutely enjoyable working with Kody. He even improvised on some of the vocal melodies because I have written them a little too harsh. The end result is really astonishing and I am very satisfied with it. Will definitely work again with you, Kody!
