Born in California, Consuelo Gilmore Costin is a famed creative and performing artist, singer, songwriter, entrepreneur and philanthropist- seemingly having taken the latter two roles from her family lineage as she is a descendant of the famed American generous philanthropist and shrewd businessman, Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Consuelo lives in Los Angeles where she tied the knot with Rafael Feldman on the 19th of October in 2007. Her father was Brackenridge Costin and her mother was the heiress Serena Vanderbilt. Her mother had a major impact on the life and philanthropy of Consuelo. This is mainly because Serena spent some 4 years of her life in a battle with ovarian cancer. She lost the battle but her untimely demise inspired Consuelo to take up charitable causes. In fact, she is on the Board of Directors of many of the organizations dealing with ovarian cancer such as the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, the American Cancer Society (commonly abbreviated as ACS) and the Ovarian Cancer Coalition of California (OCC).
Apart from her insurmountable work to charity, Consuelo Costin has made a definite mark in the world of business. She uses her influential family name and her knack for business to increase the productivity of the firms she engages her skills in. Of course, in line with her charitable activities, the proceeds of her business enterprises are normally dedicated to furthering the cause for the fight against ovarian cancer.
As a creative and performing artist, Consuelo Costin is one of the leading global singers and songwriters. In fact in 2007 she recorded with Peter Amato and Jess Sutcliffe and got at least three hits in the top ten of the AOL Musiqtones downloads. She produced another hit by the title “Numb” which was featured in 'Beach Girls'. In 2008, Costin started a band that she named “Costin”. This band has really gone places and graced most of the stages in some famous Hollywood nightclubs including Key Club, The Roxy and The Whiskey.
Her work as a songwriter has seen her do a lot. To date, Consuelo Costin has written a number of great songs for television, film and recording. At the moment, she is signed to Aaron Pearce who is also the producer for Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.
Apart from the above, she still performs for clubs and some special events. Most recently, she sang the famed 'God Bless America' at Dodger Stadium during the 7th inning stretch. Additionally, she used her prolific talent in songwriting to help in the writing of a book titled “Vanderbroke”. Vanderbroke is a sort of satirical memoir that is based chiefly on Consuelo Constin's life as a youthful American heiress. The book is expected to be launched in 2010 and has sparked a lot of interest from leading literary professionals and agents.
To conclude, Consuelo was the main force behind the development of Soho Muse. This is a business and social networking site that targets global artists. Soho Muse offers an inclusive platform for interaction that opened up some larger than life simulations for Los Angeles, New York and London. Anyone can sign up to Soho Muse at anytime and from anywhere.
