Coffey
The Inspiration Vol. 1
Coffey takes the contemporary worship sound that is acoustic guitar-driven pop, with the soul of a gospel singer, and mixes it to make the new sound of Praise and Worship going on all over the world.
Cofféy was born and raised 5 miles outside of Bangs, TX with a population of 1100 people. Early on you could tell Cofféy was born to perform. He would stand in the bed of his dad’s farm truck and perform for the passing cars on the road in front of his house. He began singing in church at age 6 and fell in love with sports as he got older. He grew to 6’5 and was a stand-out in Texas High School Basketball. Though he would get technical fouls for dancing on the court after a dunk during the game or for leading the crowd in song while at the free throw line, many knew he was different from other kids.
Cofféy attended college and in 2002 while on a basketball trip with the university decided he wanted to learn to play an instrument. Buying a beginner guitar book and borrowing a guitar from a friend, he started to play. After learning only few chords, writing songs became an obsession. Coffey walked away from his first love, basketball, to focus on music. He then got the courage to test his talent with the best in the business and moved to Los Angeles. Without knowing anybody Cofféy started crashing auditions, movie shoots, and singing in malls until security came. "If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody else will." Cofféy would win open mic nights around the city and won a talent contest that gave free studio time. He made an 8 song demo and started street performing to sell it. Crowds would fill the street and the police would shut the concerts down.
Cofféy has since performed all around the country, doing over 100 dates in 7 months, and finshed 3 albums. The albums include: Southern Man, Me and You, and The Inspiration Vol.1. Coffey is a firm prophet of DIY (do It Yourself) He uses his computer each week to make videos teaching his fans how to play his songs online, and making cool remixes of popular songs with freestyle raps and breakdowns of leagendary stories.
