Bio

Dive deep into the world of Steven Monsalve "OSMON"—born in the vibrant heart of Cali, Colombia, on June 8, 1987.

​

Once a driving force in Colombia’s underground Metal scene, multi-instrumentalist producer OSMON has returned with a bold and unexpected evolution. Still a metalhead at heart and a Classical composition dropout, OSMON defies conventions through a deep commitment to experimentation and emotion. Years of fearless experimentation and deep immersion in contemporary sound have culminated in a style entirely his own.

​

Weaving emotional guitar riffs into cosmic soundscapes and glitchy R&B undertones, Osmon’s music is intense and enigmatic. Always evolving and otherworldly, his sound is magnetic, mystic, and irresistibly haunting.

​

He has shared the stage with cult legends like Belphegor and God Dethroned, and his powerful compositions have twice shaken the grounds of Rock al Parque—one of Latin America's most iconic rock and metal festivals. These appearances rose from two of his most commanding incarnations within Colombia’s metal underground: the searing force of Malsano and the dark introspection of Blind One Came.

​

Yet, OSMON's artistry doesn't stop at music. He's a visionary in the visual realm, pioneering a unique style of Abstract Pixel-Sorted Glitch art. Imagine a photograph—now watch it unravel and reconfigure through the dance of algorithms, only to be reborn as a mesmerizing digital canvas. But OSMON doesn't stop there; he breathes life into these digital wonders with the tactile touch of acrylics and artisanal mediums, creating a harmony where the digital realm waltzes with traditional artistry.

​

The accolades speak for themselves: Crowned as 2022's Best Digital Artist at the International Biennial of Contemporary Arts, Cali, Colombia.

 

OSMON truly is where the pulse of the digital heart meets the soulful touch of the artist.
