Cochren & Co.
Michael Cochren is an award-winning singer/songwriter and worship leader born and raised in a small Indiana town. After graduating from school, Cochren began playing music across the country with a band of friends, later including his wife Leah, under the name Cochren & Co. (pronounced Cochren and Company). With hope-filled lyrics and timeless melodies, Cochren & Co. blurs the line between American pop/rock and soul/blues to create a classic sound all their own. Cochren & Co. have toured coast to coast amassing a loyal following of new listeners wherever they go.
Nominated for a GMA Dove Award for New Artist of the Year, their debut full-length album Don’t Lose Hope was released on Gotee Records in 2021. The debut included Billboard Top 10 Radio Hits “Church (Take Me Back)”, “One Day”, and “Who Can.” The title track “Don’t Lose Hope” was featured in an episode of CBS’s MacGyver.
Cochren & Co.’s sophomore project, Running Home (2023), features the group’s first No. 1 radio single with the title track as well as the 2022 Top 15 Billboard Christian Airplay & AC radio single, “Thank God For Sunday Morning,” which was listed as one of K-LOVE’s 22 Songs that Defined 2022. Cochren & Co. has been featured in various performances including GRAMMY.com’s Positive Vibes Only.
Mackenzie Phillips Bio
Singer/songwriter Mackenzie Phillips may be young, but her musical roots go deep. Raised in Houston, TX, Phillips recorded her first project at age 10 and started touring at 11. Phillips is wasting no time in realizing her mission of sharing the love of Jesus through her music, becoming a Gotee Records recording artist in 2023 and hitting the road and sharing the stage with fellow CCM artists Natalie Layne, Luke Bower, and Sam McCabe in early 2024.
Studying since age seven under two-time Grammy-nominee CCM singer/songwriter Sarah Kelly at Kelly’s music school, Mackenzie excelled and quickly proved herself as a leader and teacher at the school before moving to Nashville, TN to further pursue her own musical career. Phillips’ music found its way onto more and more playlists and started to catch the ear of industry veterans. Her signing with Gotee, Kelly’s former label, was a meaningful full-circle moment for Mackenzie.
Phillips has swiftly established herself as a prolific songwriter and talented collaborator, releasing her first major-label single “Perfect” on July 12, 2024, co-written with renowned writers Leeland Mooring and Kyle Lee. Her next single, “Good God,” written with Tyrus Morgan, Colton Price, and TEMITOPE, is slated for release later in 2024. Mackenzie is supporting her new music with performances alongside CLINE and Jeremy Rosado, as well as a tour with Gotee label-mate Cochren & Co., also scheduled for late 2024.
