Music Producer
Calvin Cooper’s journey as a producer of music started as a child watching his dear mother singing and directing the church choirs. As a youth, this sparked his interest in playing drums for his family group. He then began to study and be inspired by various gospel drummers. The inspiration kept him focused and away from the streets, which was extremely important for our nation to grasp a hold of.
Over the years, Calvin noticed his talent and passion began to increase. This motivated his family to instill the love of music into his heart even more.
Although he started with secular music, his mission changed as he began to dedicate and work for the Lord in 1991. After graduating from college in 1990 from St. Paul’s College, Lawrenceville, VA, he moved to Detroit, Michigan for a year which exposed him to Motown. Then, he moved back home to CT.
After becoming a believer in Christ, he learned to be a producer “In Faith!”
In the past, he would buy work-for-hire music for his artists until he decided to invest in himself. Since the COVID pandemic, he learned this was the greatest opportunity in his life to focus on his craft and spend more time learning how to use the production equipment. God taught him how to track, produce, and record his own music sounds straight from the throne of Heaven
While working with gospel singer & songwriter, Austin Carr, they released a single called, “We Praise You” in 2018. As God led his future, he began working with gospel singer, Kailaah Adams, whose single released August 5, 2023 0n all Digital platforms! God has also allowed Calvin to collaborate as a producer & hook writer with Kingdom Rap Artist, Tommy Kodel, on their first release together, entitled “For The Lord” featuring Calvin Cooper & Austin Carr. “For The Lord” was released on Friday, March 10, 2023.
