Mondo Cozmo's New Album and His High Sense of Purpose

Mondo Cozmo is the performing name of Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Joshua Ostrander. His music boasts the bold, expansive sound of the likes of Arcade Fire, Bob Dylan, Beck, and various hip-hop artists. But his sense of purpose might be what is most remarkable. It’s a lesson for us all. Mondo Cozmo has just released a fantastic new third album—titled “This is for the Barbarians,” and we discuss not only the album but what drives him as a purpose-fuelled leader including social causes, relationships, and of course, love. As Ostrander says in our conversation, “Just follow your heart and know that it’s going to lead you to the right place.”
