ABOUT

At age 12, Kole received a beat-up, dull red, 1970’s generic electric guitar from his father and decided he wanted to learn how to play it. Originally inspired by bands like Metallica and Led Zeppelin, Kole started to form a foundation of rock and blues based music that eventually would dominate his playing and composition style. During this time, Kole only thought of guitar and music in general as a hobby; although he always sat down for at least an hour every night and let his fingers wonder the fret-board. Four years ago though, his life changed when he met virtuoso guitarist and instructor, Tom Hess. Since then, Kole has taken very large strides in improving himself musically and forwarding his career in the music industry.

Now at age 21, he has released his debut album "Exile", has taught workshops in the Midwest including one at the Oakbrook Academy of Music and Art, has Co-Authored many different instructional products, has finished two full years of classical composition and guitar at the revered Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, and has studied at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA.
