Music Career

In 2006, Jarvis released his debut album, "19 Songs By Cosmo Jarvis." He followed it with 2009's "Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch," which featured the singles "She's Got You," "Problems/You Got Your Head," and "Crazy Screwed Up Lady." Next, he released the 2011 album "Is the World Strange or Am I Strange?," and he directed the music video for the single "Gay Pirates."

In 2013, he released the EP "They Don't Build Hearts Like They Used To." In 2025, Cosmo confirmed that he is no longer making music, telling British GQ, "It's just completely irrelevant to me – it's another life. I never really enjoyed it in the first place. It was painful. Obviously, music's great, but my place in it was not… It was a habit. It was a bad habit."

Personal Life

Cosmo is married, and a 2025 article in British GQ described him as a "devoted husband, loving father, six years teetotal, nicotine-free save for that pineapple ice vape." Jarvis has type 1 diabetes, and in 2020, he told The Guardian, "It screws with my philosophy, because I'm pretty much a hater of technology and everything that it involves, but then I rely on it to some extent to survive. I fully accept that if it wasn't for technology, diabetics and anybody with any ailment would be the first people to be dead. Then it comes down to the point of trying to argue: where is the line to differentiate between technology in the name of excess and technology in the name of accommodating basic human needs?"

Jarvis has received three British Independent Film Award nominations: Most Promising Newcomer for "Lady Macbeth" (2017), Best Actor for "Calm with Horses" (2021), and Best Lead Performance for "It Is in Us All" (2022).
