About this person
Born Costantinos Tsobanoglou on 26 January 1995, he grew up in South Africa and became a dancer before folding movement into his music. He adopted the name Costa Titch and carved a lane in amapiano, rapping and singing over the genre's signature log drum rolls and piano stabs. His work helped push the sound beyond Johannesburg's club circuit. On 11 March 2023, during a performance, he collapsed on stage and died.
