Early life
Gedeon was born in Budapest and grew up in Halbturn, Burgenland. He was born to a German father and Hungarian mother.[1] At the age of four, he attended early musical education at the Neusiedl am See Central Music School. Two years later, Gedeon began piano lessons at the same school. He has been taking singing lessons since he was 13. Around this age, Gedeon also began writing down melodies and lyrics. Under his birth name, he released his first songs, which he produced himself.[2]
Career
In 2020, Gedeon auditioned for the German singing competition The Voice Kids for the first time and was eliminated after the second round. He returned in 2022, and this time Gedeon not only progressed further in the scouting process but also reached the final of the tenth season with coach Álvaro Soler, where he sang two Frank Sinatra songs.[3]
As a result, Gedeon performed at two of Soler's concerts, at the Kasematten open-air stage in Graz's Schlossberg and at the Gasometer in Vienna. He also performed at the warm-up for the Starnacht am Neusiedlersee, at the Gols folk festival and the Halbturn Tschardakenfest, played a piano concert at Kittsee Castle with his piano teacher, Gebhard Rauscher, simultaneously on two grand pianos, and met the governor of Burgenland, who had watched Gedeon's performances on television, in October. In December, he gave his first radio interview on the Burgenland program "Mahlzeit Burgenland" on Radio Burgenland.
In July 2021, Gedeon won the podium.jazz.pop.rock... competition for young musicians from Burgenland as best singer-songwriter – with a vocal and piano performance of his self-composed jazz piece "Fall into Your Arms".[4] He also participated in the Burgenland Song Challenge in autumn 2023 with the song "Fall into Your Arms". For this, Gedeon formed a band for live concerts and studio recordings, which can be heard in his song.[2]
On 15 December 2025, it was announced that Gedeon would compete in the Austrian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, dubbed Vienna Calling – Wer singt für Österreich?, with the song "Tanzschein" under the stage name Cosmó.[5][6] He won in the final on 20 February 2026, thus earning the right to represent Austria on home soil.[7][8]
