Cooper has always been on a path of music. At age 8 he began classically training on the violin. After 3 years of lessons, he decided to take up piano which he taught himself by ear. Soon after he began to spend several hours a day playing music out of his head. By the age of 15 he had recorded his first demo with guest drummer Todd Roper of CAKE. Throughout high school Cooper continued to learn and further his musical background by playing piano in the Jazz band for 4 years, as well as being the assistant to the choir director and accompanying the middle school choirs. In his senior year Cooper composed his first original film score for the feature film HOMESKILLET, followed by the original score for the documentary SOAR. Cooper is an engineer at Hallowed Halls Recording Studio.
