This one is especially dear to my heart if it’s the right fit for me. I really cut my teeth throwing a monthly concert series out of my rental’s garage, consistently making a profit doing so. It was called Juice Jam in Provo, Utah south of campus. Our biggest night we had approximately 275 people purchase tickets and enter our pay gate. It was an incredibly large amount of work being the stage hand, the live mixer, the DJ, the host, and the planner. I did it every month for 16 months straight. We had about 20-30 regulars who would come regardless of the bands playing and sell their art and home-made ice cream. We really created a community.

It’s embarassing but yes—starred in a Western short film, Code Duello.

Video Editing: Today’s Wild West Award-Winning TV Show (Episode Editor), MySafe:LA (In-House Video Editor & Motion Graphics), I planned, edited, and managed the launch of the entire Modern Musician YouTube Channel specifically their educational series, and countless varying projects for family, colleagues, and friends.

Indie Rock, Psych-Pop, Producing, Songwriting, Soundtrack Writer, Audiophile, Headphone Snob — music is truly where my heart is at. I love it all so much.

At my core, I am a melancholic but quite self-satisfied songwriter :)

Music is how humans decorate time, and I do that all day long in my head.

My main, active music project is Bill Powerless (available streaming anywhere). I also have a fun band with my colleague Kàsh Mojo, called Supermarket Man.

Previous Acts: Venter’s Stag Motel, Prince Duck, Babe N Goose, VBRF, The Roads.

I have performed in venues all across the state of Utah for my own and in other people’s bands—including Westwood and Silverlake in CA.

In 2011, I had the honor of touring with then “The Melvin Doo” who have since renamed themselves Mapache—featured on Wilco’s Top Summer Picks 2022.

Currently pursuing a Bill Powerless album produced by Bryan Ray of LonelyChild Music out of ATX.

To tell the truth, this was my first real artistic medium I ever deeply explored. I won a scholarship in high school to study photography and photoshop at a nearby tech college. I really fell in love with image collages, low light photography, and double exposing. I have since expanded my skillset to encompass product photography, documentary photo, weddings, and more.

I grew up in a traditional family, very active in the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints (known as the Mormon Church). My father was very involved in the leadership in our region—there was a lot of pressure to conform. I served a complete, 2-year mission for this church when I was 22-23 years old (2016-2018) in Québec, Canada. It was a full-time proselyting mission during which I learned and fluently spoke Québeçois (Canadian French) every day doing community service and dogged proselyting. It was very difficult for me. I left the church in 2020 and never looked back. Spirituality through the earth, restoring my connection with my body, and living in the present moment now create such bliss in my life, I have a hard time being truly self-pitious.

I’ve completed a full 90 day as a patient inside in-patient rehab in St. George, UT. I have cumulatively attended more than 1,000+ meetings combined from almost every single kind of 12-step program that exists including a good handful of international conferences.

I’ve completed extensive years of EMDR therapy / Trauma Therapy, IFS intervention, behavioral-cognitive therapy, and more.

I learned TM meditation from a certified teacher in Salt Lake City, UT. I’ve used TM meditation off and on for years now and it’s incredible—probably my most powerful tool in my toolbox.

I have completed a legal complete name change from Brent William Reynolds to Cozy K Ace. It completely changed my life, and drastically.

I mean travel on multiple levels. First, I mean I’ve traveled to many places: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Portugal, Japan, Tonga, Hawaii, Fiji, Grenada, and all across the USA. I’ve lived for a few months out of a roof-top tent car setup with my partner. From 2020-2022 we moved 12 times—including Salt Lake City, UT, San Jose, CA and Albuquerque, NM. In 2023 we sold our car and ever since we only use walking, buses, trains, or e-bikes. I adore public transportation and love meeting new people while doing so. I also find myself to be extra creative and sensitive while out of my normal home routine so it’s extra special :)
