At age 4 Cole Marcus won “America’s Most Talented Kid” on NBC. Just out of High school, Cole had been impressing worldwide audiences and the entertainment industry with his amazing talent. His precocious drumming skills, songwriting, and vocal abilities have garnered appearances on countless TV and radio shows, not to mention feature articles in DrumPro, DRUM!, and Modern Drummer magazines.

Cole's passion for the arts has developed him into a seasoned actor, where he has worked in feature films and several national TV commercials. Cole plays the role of the drummer for Mercy Me in the hit Christian film “I Can Only Imagine.” By the age of four, Cole was offered endorsements with Mapex drums, Zildjian cymbals, Vic Firth Drumsticks, and had signed with BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.). This made him the youngest person to ever land an artist endorsement and the youngest songwriter in history to sign with BMI.

Cole has since signed with DW Drums, Yamaha DTX Drums, D'Addario/Evans, Cympad, Humes and Berg and many others. A highlight of Cole's year is his annual appearance at the NAMM show, where many of these companies invite him to perform and sign autographs alongside the best drum Artists in the industry.

Some of the things that came up:

-The legacy of Neil Peart (tribute)

-Being homeschooled

-Avoiding negative nellies

-Strategically attaining endorsements

-There’s always redemption

-Apologetics

-3 things you have to accomplish in life
