When most three-year-olds were learning to form a sentence, Aaron Cole was rapping verses, and in just a year he made his first recording. Since then, his musical journey has been filled with a coveted Dove Award (2019 New Artist of the Year) and back-to-back-to-back #1 singles on the Billboard Christian HOT AC/CHR chart.
Cole was born and raised in Bristol, VA, a quintessential small town that rests right across the border of Tennessee. For Cole, hustling was a way of life. He grew up in a home where everyone had to work hard for what they had, and music was his outlet to express how he was feeling about the world around him. Some would say he was born into music – his dad had a recording studio in their apartment and his uncle was a Christian rapper. As a child, he would always sit in on the sessions. It wasn’t long before he began to mimic the verses and rap them back to him. It was clear he had a gift and ambition to go after his dream.
Aaron caught the attention of multi-GRAMMY-award winning and Billboard chart-topper TobyMac when he was just 15. Soon after Cole was signed to TobyMac’s label, Gotee Records.
In 2017, Cole’s debut single, “Right On Time” (featuring TobyMac) hit the music circuit and skyrocketed to #1 on Billboard’s Christian Hot AC Chart while the accompanying music video quickly amassed over 8 million views on YouTube. Then Cole had another hit on his hands with “ONE MORE DAY” which also rose to #1 on Billboard’s Christian Hot AC Chart sending him to share the stage with the likes of Lecrae, Andy Mineo, KB, Trip Lee, and performing on three massive arena tours with Tobymac, Torian wells & Mandisa.
“… no matter what your story is, we are all called to be something great. So, go after your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem. Work hard, stay true to who you are, don’t compromise your faith, and let God lead. After all, if God can make a poor kid from Bristol wildest dreams come true, He can do it for you too.” – Aaron Cole
