In the 1990s he increasingly turned to the possibilities of the acoustic guitar and developed his individual style of "mondo funk guitar" by fusing elements of the musical styles bossa nova , blues , jazz and flamenco . The result was a mixture of jazz and pop music, as can be heard on the Tinggal album .
The initial spark of his pop career came in May 1999 when Kosho, as a co-organizer of a benefit concert, asked various local and national acts to participate. The sons of Mannheim performed together with Kosho and kept him as a guitarist.
Since 2003 he has also been a guitar lecturer at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg , whom he supports as a project partner like Xavier Naidoo and the rest of Mannheim's sons. Kosho also writes music for theater and film .
