Student Activities is looking forward to having Christian hip hop recording artist Aaron Cole with us on February 18^th in the LaHaye Event Space!

Ever since he was a little boy, Aaron Cole was surrounded by music. He grew up and was raised by a music centered family where his father even had a recording studio put in their apartment for their own usage and enjoyment. Cole discovered that his true passion was music while in high school and decided that he wanted to work towards becoming a professional rapper. Music truly was his muse. “I remember in junior high just enjoying being a regular kid, but I would get picked on because I wasn’t smoking, drinking, or getting in trouble,” says Cole. “One afternoon I came home and told my dad what was going on and why, and he shared that he thought I was called for a purpose and that this calling would cost me to not be like everyone else. It was that moment that I encountered God for the first time for myself, and I knew I was born to do this and began writing and putting my own songs together.” He currently is living in Bristol, VA and has released a total of six independent projects featuring popular artists such as Hollyn and DJ Maj. He was even given the honor of being inducted into the Christian Hip Hop’s top media outlet Rapzilla’s Freshman class and was discussed in an article published by Essence Magazine as one of 16 gospel artists to keep an eye out for. He was then signed to Gotee Records in 2017 and has truly made his mark on the Christian Hip hop industry.

Aaron Cole’s music is truly special as it mixes grounded Christian themes with popular sounds and relevant musical style. It just goes to show that so many mediums can be harnessed to glorify God as we live in this world but not of it.

We hope to see you in the LaHaye Event Space on Friday, February 18^th at 7:30 pm. Get your tickets now!
