My professional career in music began in 1972. I'm originally from Richmond, VA, but moved to NJ at the beginning of that year. My final relocation was to Nashville in 2006. I won't name drop here. I will say that I've worked with musical Hall of Famers and winners of Grammy's, Emmy's, Oscars, etc...never won any of those myself though. My music crosses genres including rock, jazz, blues, country, reggae, Americana and more. The bars I reach for are The Beatles, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, classic soul and much more--all of my influences. There is no musical direction that is off limits. My umbrella corporation for various other publishing and music entities is Jericat Group. Please feel free to reach out at jericat@yahoo.com. Also listen to a large cross-section that is the tip of the iceberg for my music at www.jericat.com. All of my social media is ended with samcooperjericatmusic. I also have a YouTube channel under the name Jericat.
