Dive deep into the world of Steven Monsalve, known artistically as OSMON — born in the vibrant heart of Cali, Colombia, on June 8, 1987.
​
Once a driving force in Colombia’s underground metal scene, this multi-instrumentalist and producer returns with a bold and unexpected evolution. Still a metalhead at heart and a Classical composition dropout, OSMON now carves a path entirely his own through Prog&B: a genre-bending fusion of progressive rock, experimental R&B, and electronica.
​
Weaving emotional guitar riffs into cosmic soundscapes and glitch-laced beats, OSMON’s music is both mystic and magnetic, intense, otherworldly, and irresistibly haunting. Years of fearless experimentation and deep immersion in contemporary sound have culminated in a sonic identity that defies classification, yet remains unmistakably his.
​
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.
​
But OSMON's artistry extends beyond sound. As a visual creator, he pioneers a unique style of abstract glitch art, where photography disintegrates and reconfigures through algorithmic distortion, then fuses with the physical world via hand-applied acrylics and traditional mediums. His works are where the digital realm waltzes with tactile craft.
In 2022, OSMON was named Best Digital Artist at the International Biennial of Contemporary Arts in Cali, Colombia — a testament to his boundary-pushing vision.
​
OSMON is where the pulse of a digital heart meets the soul of a cosmic storyteller.
