The versatility of this instrument allowed him to explore classical guitar as well as modern styles of music, most notably rock and metal. Kostik has performed as a solo act, with friends made during his time as a member of the Musicians' Club at UCSD, and in over a half dozen bands as a guitarist, bassist, and vocalist.
