"Cohen’s music is unmistakably one of a photographer and filmmaker: cinematic and bursting with story. His songs reflect a relationship of light and sound, and above all strive to reflect the beauty around us." - Michelle www.aurgasm.us

He was handed his first guitar among the mystical Joshua trees at the age of five. Leaving the desert to pursue a photography, he landed in Boise, Idaho where a trio was formed. They started playing songs in bars and supporting major acts such as the Violent Femmes and local heroes, Built to Spill. Restless for new music and inspiration, Cohen traveled Europe, playing the streets of Galway and countless Parisian courtyards. It was here that he found his distinctive voice combined with a Dylan-esque sensibility.
A composer at heart, his live shows consistently captivate audiences via story telling, intuitive melody and intimate vocal delivery. With roots in folk-punk rock, and influenced by Bon Iver, Patrick Watson, Broken Social Scene, Jeff Buckley & Chopin, Cohen's music features deft lyricism as well as unique mastery of guitar, piano, and ukulele.
Recently, Cohen has been playing shows on the west coast festival circuit [ Lightning in a Bottle / Art Outside ] sharing the stage with Yard Dogs, Beats Antique & Sean Hayes. Based in Portland/Bay Area, Cohen is working on a musical slated for release on GYPSYPOP RECORDS
