Seth Zosky is a singer, actor, and musician. He rose to prominence as a member of the R&B/pop band "CZN", who were chosen as winners of Canadian Family's Got Talent by Simon Cowell.[1]
Life
[edit]Zosky was raised in Toronto, and is Jewish.[2] He graduated from the musical theatre program at Sheridan College in 2021.[3]
Career
[edit]Music
[edit]While enrolled at Sheridan College, a music theory and performance professor suggested Zosky, CJ Capital, and Matthew Novary Joseph noted their complementary vocal styles and suggested they work together.[4] This led to the formation of CZN, a R&B/pop trio band.
In 2020, Zosky and CZN competed on Canadian Family's Got Talent, which was presented during the COVID-19 pandemic by Breakfast Television. The band was announced as the winner on May 26, 2020, with Simon Cowell commenting, "... I think you’re very current, I think you’re very cool, I think you’re very likeable. Most importantly talented, creative, inventive...".[1] Later in 2020, CZN released their first single "Friends".[citation needed]
The group also competed in season 16 of America's Got Talent. At the auditions, they performed JP Saxe and Julia Michaels' If the World Was Ending.[5] They received four 'yes' votes from the judges to advance to the next round, but were ultimately eliminated during the judges' deliberations.[citation needed]
Musical theatre
[edit]In 2022, Zosky had his first professional stage role when he starred as Jamie in a regional production of The Last Five Years opposite AJ Bridel.[6] He reprised his role of Jamie in another production of The Last Five Years presented by Blue Bridge Productions.[7]
In 2024, Zosky co-wrote and performed in Pain to Power: A Kanye West Musical Protest, which was presented at the Winnipeg Jewish Theatre.[8] The musical was written as a response to West's controversial statements about Jewish people and slavery, and uses West's music to discuss celebrity influence and questioning at what point a fan can no longer separate the art from the artist.[3]
