About Me: 
Hey, I'm Korey Cooper. I'm from Kenosha, WI and was born on July 21. I have been touring with Skillet for 12 years...freaky. I am the second of five siblings and believe it or not I am the quiet, introspective one. I love my Italian roots though I rarely ever eat pasta:) I have two lovely children and a fantastically productive husband and thus explains most of my time outside of work. I love working out, new recipes, throwing parties, silence, serving, rocking and all things music. I love teaching my children and mostly learning from them:) I love my wonderful family and friends, and my Lord who defines and directs me with patience, love and discipline.
Country: 
United States
What's Your Favorite Movie Or TV Show?: 
Favorite things to watch are anything on the Food Network, Law and Order, Heroes, Word Girl and the Bourne trilogy...and of course my husband rocking the stage:)
What's Your Favorite Book?: 
I love reading books - not particularly fond of fiction, but I'm into theology, philosophy and history - and usually prefer classic authors. My favorites would be Dietrich Bonhoeffer, St. Augustine, Oswald Chambers and A.W. Tozer.
One Interesting Fact About Me Is...: 
My favorite qualities are courage, hope, determination and authenticity.. pet peeves would be their antonyms. A few points on my 'bucket list' would be to see the Olympic games, Yo Yo Ma in concert and a Food Network cake challenge. A little known fact about me is that I would like to try my hand at farming. Favorite snacks are fresh fruit, Swedish fish, peanut butter M&Ms and Dove caramels.

Hi Korey :) (You are fantastic guitarist :))
Perhaps you such e-mails and messages walking every day hundreds. And I understand that catch ... But even so, we will try to write.
Sorry for my bad English. You know I'm from Czech Republic.
And that's what this is all too.
Very much I want you to meet. and preferably at a concert in the Czech Republic. I understand that it's hard and you can not satisfy everyone. You like the band you me several times helped to his feet. Not always in a happy life .. and lyrics of your songs and your music supported me tremendously. And now I write the truth ... I swear to you.
On your new CD "RISE" I'm looking forward. . I have an uncle in San Francisco and I want him to arrange That Somehow I ordered it :)
The whole band admit. And I will support you :) I hope you read this message :)

THE MEANING OF LIFE IS NOT IMPORTENT BECAUSE EVERY HAS THERE OWN MEANING. BUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THE MEANING FOR LIFE! THE MEAN FOR LIFE IS A JOURNEY. THAT EVERY ONE OF MUST TAKE. WE ALL HAVE TO FIND ARE OWN WAY, TRUE POEPLE WILL BE THERE TO HELP GIUDE US, AS WE HELP GIUDE OTHERS. YOU MAY SAY SOME POEPLE S JOURNEY WAS CUT TOO SHORT AND OTHER NOT SHORT EUGH. BUT NO ONE'S JOURNEY WAS TOO SHORT OR TOO LONG ALL THESE ARE JUST OBSTICKLE WE HAVE TO OVERCOME IN ARE OWN WAY, JUST AS WE ARE AN OBSTICKLE TO OTHERS THAT THEY HAVE TO OVERCOME IN THERE OWN WAY. THIS IS WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE, AS INDIVIDUAL.

Adorei de Mais a banda de vocês.
Não esperava encontrar uma banda cristã, com tanto estilo assim.
Eu toco Bateria a 12 anos, quem sabe um dia eu possa ter uma banda como a skillet...

Hey Korey!

I wanted to say you and the band have been such an inspiration to me. I absolutly love your music and I'm trying to learn the violin pieces. (if you can't tell from that I play the violin) My best friend got me into this band and I'll tell you know i havnt been the same since. (thats a good thing!)

I watch some of your podcasts before and it seems like you and Jen always have Starbucks and this is just a question for you to think about, how many cups of Starbucks have you had in the past year or so????(not that I'm hatin on you[which I'm not])

Keep rocking and don't ever lose your spirit!

My birthday is July 21st, too, Korey! :) Nice to meet a fellow Cancer who loves to play guitar. I'm the same exact way and am learning Skillet songs! Plus, it's a perfect way to witness to my instructor about Jesus Christ.

I was introduced to Skillet back in October 2011 when I turned my life over to Christ for the true and real time. I grew up in a "Christian" home and church all my life, but never gave Him my entire life, and the piled up mistakes prove my former lost-ness. All that's behind me now. When I discovered Skillet, I was in real need for some rocking good Christian bands, but I was a bit hesitant due to my belief that good Christian rock wasn't possible (I'm 35 years old and have seen the evolution of Christian music). How wrong I was! I've been hooked every since and own every album. Your songs are part of my gym workout playlist (Energy, Savior, Rebirthing, Whispers in the Dark, Collide, Dead Inside, Believe, Forgiven...one of my all-time favorites that describes my life and attitude now, and even some of the secular-feeling ones like Should've When You Could've and Don't Wake Me). Awesome music and I hope to learn the guitar parts well enough to rock like you.

Lastly, I think it's great that you and John find a way to keep family first. I suppose being in the band together is the perfect way to do that! My fiance and I are kind of in the same boat. She's beautiful, can sing, and is super-supportive of me. Once we're married, I think God will use us in music to reach our circle of influence. You're an inspiration and my prayer is that you maintain your focus on God first, so the world doesn't take you down. It's easy to get sucked in these days.

You guys rock!!!!!! :-D

Hey Corey, can def tell your the quiet, introspective type. You could dominate the stage with your awesome guitar playing and singing, but dont. I would like to see your face more! Smile at the crowd and the camera! Love your 'About Me'. Seem to be similar to one another. Way cool to have you in a position to influence so many young people with your lifestyle. You go girl!

We are very similar to characters

Since your from WI, are you a Packer fan???

zombiefamilyorchestra's picture

You should punk John somehow in an upcoming show for having made fun of the "whale sound" he says you made on the keyboard while he was telling his personal story in Greenville, SC. Don't let him get away with that!

You like Swedish fish?
Dude. You just got more awesome. :3

dbulldog1992's picture

Hey you will be in a town near me on Feb. 16 in Council Bluffs Iowa. Some friends and I were going to attend this concert and was wondering if there would be any chance of me being able to propose to my girlfriend at the concert. If I could that would be phenomenal.

skilletrocks_11's picture

Hey you are really good and i wont to be able to meet you some day.

Mag's picture

Hey, I just wanted to say that you're awesome and I hope that one day I can be as good at guitar and piano as you are! :D

Skillet lover_5's picture

Hi, Skillet is the best band ever. I have only been listening to your music for a short time and already i think your music is great. I would love it if Skillet would come to Brisbane, Australia. I would love to come to one of your live shows. I think Skillet is very inspirational. Skillet has inspiered me to learn to play the electric guitar and to even sing in front of people. Skillet has inspired me to be a better Christain and to use the talent God gave me.

SKILLET4eva237's picture

Skillet= the best band ever! Me, my sister and my whole family love Skillet! I really hope to see you all live soon but my parents said you have to come closer to South Carolina, Charleston. :(
