I had no idea that Cosmo Jarvis has Armenian roots, from mother's side.
Cosmo Jarvis - Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis - the author of Gay Pirates song (music video - below). He is quite cute too.
Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis – raised in Totnes, Devon, with an Armenian-American mother and English father – has already written more than 300 songs and is close to finishing his first feature film. He tackles weighty topics in a conversational style, treating the listener like a trusted friend. His music switches between acoustic ballads, rambunctious punk-folk, MOR rock and agitatedly introspective, scabrous rap, sometimes within a single song. These are all reasons why he should be accorded the status of national treasure, but they also explain why he has yet to become a household name. [...]
The first disc was mainly a collection of love songs, albeit with a singular, reliably dark humour, but the second was a concept album about a teenager struggling through his parents' protracted, bruising separation. It served as his autobiography.
"There was always problems at home – always," he says. "It was more than a divorce. It went on for ages. Still going on, 10 years later. I guess they actually split when I was nine years old. Mum took me and my brother, fucked off, left the country. She would say things about dad, he would say things about her, and you don't know what's true. And you get to the point where you don't hate them, but you just no longer see them as parents. I did, anyway."
