Who says pre-med students can't make a tune? Antoniette Costa, GS '12, may be studying cosmetic dentistry, but she's been writing her own original songs since the 7th grade and released her first full-length album in 2005. A dual citizen of the United States and Italy, Antoniette is influenced by musicians ranging from Tracy Chapman to soul singer Jazmine Sullivan and has played Manhattan venues such as Le Poisson Rouge alongside DJs Questlove and Samantha Ronson.
Costa recently teamed up with Yale alum (and YouTube sensation) Kevin "K.O." Olusola, also pre-med, whom she met through a mutual friend at Wyclef Jean's studio in New Jersey. The two collaborated on one of Costa's songs, "Void of a Legend", and it debuted at No. 51 on the U.S. iTunes Classical Music Chart alongside Yo-Yo Ma and Andrea Bocelli tracks.
