About Me

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 a southern baptist 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, finshed 3 albums, nd got indie distribution thru iTunes. The albums include: Southern Man, Me and You, and The Inspiration Vol.1. Cofféy is an natural leader and encourager. His talent has ranged from steet performing in Santa Monica, rodeos in Texas, and exclusive parties in the Hamptons. Cofféy is an artist of the people. His music is almost as dynamic as his personality.nd anointed by God to be a bridge from the Kingdom of God to the lost.

Lyrics for "Umbrella" (Christ Mix) I gave you my heart, in exchange for a brand new start Lord then you made me clean, And you set me apart. See I was in the dark, you the bright and morning star And oh with you amazing grace, You keep a smile upon my face because,When the son died, he didn’t die forever, Put him in a tomb and 3 days later, He died on cross and he rose again Dipped me in his blood and He washed away my sins, sins, sins…eh ..eh...eh Thank the lord I’m born again in in...eh...eh…eh
