IN THE STUDIO, it is not unlikely you will find Cason Cooley experimenting with new sounds, pushing back on boundaries to achieve new levels of creativity. A dynamic combination of producer, engineer, musician, composer, and songwriter, Cooley’s love for music began at young age. Growing up in Wichita, KS, Cooley often traveled across the country with his parents who were a part of the Grammy award winning Southern Gospel group, The Cathedral Quartet. Cooley took the plunge to pursue music on his own in 1997 and moved to Nashville, TN where he soon became a member of the Normals.In 2002, the group disbanded and Cooley began to focus his attention on songwriting and production. 

Cooley has written and produced artists such as Ingrid Michaelson, including her singles "Girls Chase Boys" and "Hell No," American Authors hit single "Deep Water,” Ellie Holcomb, Katie Herzig, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, Ben Rector, David Archuletta and more. In 2021, Cason received a DOVE award for Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for NEEDTOBREATHE’s single “Who Am I” and Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year for the NEEDTOBREATHE album “Out of Body.” His creativity continues to influence and challenge the way music is made.
