Born to American and Egyptian parents, Cole Basta’s musical upbringing was cross-cultural. Developing an instinct for rhythm and melody, Cole drew affiliations to various UK rap and hip-hop collectives across the UK and met collaborators including J Moon and Lauren Ralph, producers of his debut singles and mixtape. His appetite for collaborations also lead him to feature on singles for rising UK star Ebenezer and London producer SG Lewis.-Genius.com
