John Cooper

For the American vocalist, bass player and frontman of the Grammy-nominated Christian rock band Skillet, fate could have been different. If John Cooper, nicknamed Doggy, had not shown strength of character in his youth, millions of fans would not have watched the work of the cult singer and musician today. But, fortunately, the story has no subjunctive mood.

The Christian rock star was born in April 1975 in Memphis. John grew up in a deeply religious family. At the age of 5, the boy came to Christ, which left an imprint on his entire further biography.

Young Cooper's passion for rock (in the 5th grade he listened to the works of Petr) provoked a protest from his parents, who believed that the music of this direction was from the devil. But the son turned out to be surprisingly persistent: John did not refuse rock.

Parents made a compromise with their son: only compositions performed by Christian rockers were heard at home. Listening to the bands Amy Grant and Russ Taff, the guy learned the basics of guitar playing. At the age of 15, John Cooper, with his peers and like-minded people, organized the musical group Tribulation.

Later, the star vocalist shared in an interview that the atmosphere in the house was depressing. He was not allowed to grow his hair, wear black clothes, listen to music with drums and guitars. The path to creativity was lined with prohibitions and taboos, the overcoming of which, although not beautifying life, brought up a strong character.

John's romance with his future wife Corey Cooper began in Memphis. The couple met in a church where young people came to the service. But the musician took the girl he liked down the aisle only after a year and a half, because Corey and her family moved to Wisconsin. Fate gave them dates over and over again, which eventually ended in marriage.

The wife gave John two children - daughter Alexandria and son Xavier, who is 3 years younger than his sister.

Corey shares her husband's hobby - she plays keyboards and rhythm guitar. The spouses have tattoos on their fingers instead of wedding rings. Many of the impaled drawings on John's body speak of love for God and his wife. On Instagram, the stars have dozens of photos with their wife and grown-up children.

In 1989, Cooper joined the Seraph Christian group based in Memphis. The musicians gave concerts and toured the central south, performing as an opening act for more famous colleagues from the rock bands Mortal and Guardian.

The last page in Seraph's work was written in the mid-1990s. The collective was able to release the only studio album. John Cooper was not going to end his musical career after the disbandment of the group and in tandem with musician Ken Storts founded Skillet, asking for blessings from the local pastor. Drummer Trey McLurkin joined the musicians.

At the beginning, the guys played grunge and post-industrial, but they were not going to stop and tried their hand at other styles. The creative flurries of the early period are heard in the sound of the first Skillet CD, which is diverse and heterogeneous. It consists of compositions based on biblical motives. According to the idea of ​​the frontman and colleagues, their songs should become "a bridge between God and lost souls."

The group's first tour of European cities took place in 1998 and brought fame to John Cooper and his colleagues. Skillet has an army of fans, critics warmly welcomed the newcomers, promising them bright prospects. Fans have noted the impact on American music of Kurt Cobain's legacy. For Doggy, Cobain has been the # 1 star since his early teens, so it was impossible to escape the influence of the Nirvana frontman.

Two years after the first album, the second was released, in the sound of which music lovers heard more calm alternative rock.

In 1999, the line-up underwent changes: Storts and McLurkin left Skillet. They were soon replaced by newcomers - guitarists Corey Cooper, Seth Morrison and drummer Jen Lager.

In 2000, the renewed rock band expanded their discography with their third album, Ardent Worship. The group's popularity grew.

In the spring of 2019, Skillet toured 13 cities in Russia, and at the end of the summer, Doggy reminded of himself and the band with the release of his 10th album, named Victorious. A clip appeared for the Legendary single in June 2019, and the anniversary disc was released in August.

Now Cooper is working on new compositions, promising to delight fans with hits in the genres of Christian and alternative rock, as well as symphonic and new metal.
