Steve Cohen’s first album was released back in 1997 to critical acclaim from Billboard Magazine, Philadelphia City Paper & The American Society of Musician’s Composer’s & Publishers. The Philadelphia native has since released 10 albums and multiple singles featuring his original songs recorded under his birth name and his alter ego Elton Costello. The music embraces various genres including Singer/Songwriter on “Silent Too Long”: & Rock on “Crazy” where you’ll find a full band with a horn section mastered by Grammy Award winner Glenn Barratt.

A simple Americana influenced Piano/Voice demo written around the time of the 911 attacks named “American Troubadour” found itself embraced by Pandora Radio and played 1,000’s of times (a respectable feat for an album recorded with one mic on a piano).

Steven Sean Cohen released “Summer Jams” in 2013 with a music video by Victor Mignatti for the song “Thinkin’ Bout Leavin’. The album was followed up in 2014 with 4 singles including “Springsteen” a tribute to the artist, “Bradford Country” focusing on the environmental hazards of fracking and “Colorado” in memory of those who continue die to to the mass shooting epidemic.
