Jedd Kossew / Co-Founder

Known as one of South Africa’s guitar heroes, shredding solos across the live circuit scene like a local version of Evel Knievel. This daredevil, whiskey slinging musician has thrown himself into an array of genres, crafting his skills with bands Cruel April, 7th Son, Van Coke Kartel and now with Francois van Coke & Die Gevaar. Kossew is a master of melody, guitar licks, arrangement and sound design. When he’s not walking his lamb like dogs, he’s in the studio tracking artists with his brother in arms Richard. A gang of 2 thundering along the train tracks like cowboys robbing steam engines at the stroke of midnight.
