A former contestant on "The Voice" and soulful vocalist with an extensive inventory of musical talents, Drew Cole, was born in Seattle, WA. The singer-songwriter’s influences are as varied and eclectic as the states he has lived in. After his father introduced him to the guitar at age 11, Cole found early inspiration in The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Black Crowes. His vocal influences span decades of legendary front men, including Freddie Mercury, Shannon Hoon, and more recently, John Mayer, James Bay, and Allen Stone.
