Wren Kosinski,[2] known professionally as Ghost Mountain, is an American rapper, singer, guitarist, and videographer. He is a founding member of the rap collective Haunted Mound.[3] Kosinski began releasing music in 2018 on SoundCloud.[4]
Early life
[edit]Wren Kosinski was born in 2000 in Sacramento, California. Not much is known about Wren's early life and childhood other than that he grew up in Northern California. While in school, he met frequent collaborator and Haunted Mound co-founder Zane Steckler.
Career
[edit]
In 2018, Wren would release his first song and single, Your face in the window, on SoundCloud on December 26th, 2018.[4] In 2019, Kosinski and childhood friend Zane Steckler, at the time going by Sematary, would form Haunted Mound. Soon after this, him and Steckler would release a collaborative mixtape, Grave House on August 16th, 2019.[5] Through this mixtape, he would gain notoriety with classics like Nevada[6] and Fury Road.[5] Following the release of Grave House, Ghost Mountain would heavily be featured on Sematary's next mixtape, Rainbow Bridge,[7] where he was a frequent collaborator. He was featured on songs such as Bunny Suit[8] and Toolbox.[9] Through these features, he became a fan-favorite of the Haunted Mound. In July 2020, a follow-up collaborative mixtape to Grave House would be released, named Hundred Acre Wrist.[10] This collaborative tape would skyrocket Kosinski's popularity, as he had become one of the most well-known members of Haunted Mound, and was loved by many. Ghost Mountain would have his official last feature with Haunted Mound in 2021 on the track Goin' Mordum, off of Sematary's Rainbow Bridge 3.[11] Reportedly after this, Ghost Mountain showed up the studio him and Zane were working in with no lyrics, took some photos and left.[12] This would eventually lead to Ghost Mountain leaving Haunted Mound in May 2021[13] due to issues between him and Sematary.[14] Before this, Kosinski talked about stepping down from music and getting a college degree, which didn't sit well with Sematary.
Falling out with Sematary
[edit]Through direct message conversations with a fan, Ghost Mountain confirmed he had left the group due to "fundamental disagreements" and an "ever growing ego" within Sematary. Kosinski claimed Steckler had elements of "sexual violence" and "misogyny" in his attitude, and called his persona "Manufactured, and something that he valued more than our actual friendship."[14]
Return to music and Haunted Mound
[edit]In September 2024, Kosinski reactivated his Social accounts and changed his Instagram bio to "haunted mound", and began following all of the members again, confirming he had rejoined.[15][16]Kosinski would then release his first single in 3 years under his "Ghost Mountain" alias, named Apollon,[17] which was released under the Haunted Mound label and produced by fellow member Oscar8teen.
