Eric Cohen's Biography
My name is Eric Cohen, I was born in Madrid, Spain. I currently live in Kansas City, Missouri and have for the last 16 years. I have a wife by the name of Ashley, and 2 children. Austin, my son is 11 about to be 12, and my daughter Harper just turned 8. MY childhood was unfortunately not the best, I grew up with mother who was an addict who divorced my father when I was around 8. I ended up in Mississippi with my mom. My mother drank around a case of beer along with taking pills daily, which meant for me there was a lot of neglect and poverty. Around 12 I went to my first Psych ward, this is where I would end up spending most of my time from the age of 12 to 17, labelled as a “bad” kid.
Around the age of 18 I joined the United States Navy and went over to the middle east on board an
FFG (fast Frigate) USS Doyle (FFG-39). Around 3 years ago during one of the deepest points of
depression in my life I was gifted with the ability to make music, literally, one day I was not musically inclined in any way and the next day I woke up, I was (GLORY TO GOD). I made a commitment to the Lord at that point that I would always use this gift for His glory.
I am an independent artist as of now, but also collaborate frequently with a Christian label named Higher Power. Last year I was presented with the best Gospel artist of the year Via Tower Radio Show out of Houston, TX. I have also had a few songs go into the charts on Repost Exchange and am currently #14 on the Indie Top charts.
My Church home is Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, in Pleasant Valley, Mo. I currently work with a couple of different outreach ministries and am trying to get into the worship ministry in my church. The ministries I’ve worked with are Revive KC and Beautifully Broken Ministries, I also volunteer as often as I can for Light The Way Ministries based out of Springfield, Mo.
