Costa Titch was more than just an artist. He was a brilliant superstar and hardworking man with a kind heart which endeared him to all around him.

I remember When Babs played me his record for the first time. I was convinced that he was going to make an impact in this world. Costa Titch had a vision that I knew for sure would take over the music industry globally and was on his way to doing just that when God’s plan intervened, It’s been a sad day but what makes me feel better is that I know he died doing what he loved doing the most in this world. God bless you, COSTA!!!”
