Beginnings
Michael Cochren is an award-winning singer/songwriter and worship leader from a small town in Indiana. After graduating school, he began playing music nationwide with a band of friends—later joined by his wife Leah—under the name Cochren & Co. With hope-filled lyrics and timeless melodies, Cochren & Co. blurs the line between American pop/rock and soul/blues to
create a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Hit Albums
Cochren & Co. first made waves with their debut album Don’t Lose Hope (Gotee Records, 2021), which produced Billboard Top 10 radio hits including the RIAA Gold-certified “Church (Take Me Back),” “One Day,” and “Who Can.” Their follow-up album Running Home (2023) featured the band’s first No. 1 Billboard radio single with the title track, later named one of the Top 10 Airplay Songs of 2023, while “Thank God For Sunday Morning” was recognized among K-LOVE’s 22 Songs that Defined 2022.

Successful Songwriting
In addition to fronting Cochren & Co., Michael Cochren has become a prolific songwriter, celebrating his second No. 1 as a songwriter in 2025 with “Somebody Prayed,” co-written with Crowder, which held the top spot at radio for multiple weeks. His catalog also includes modern hymns written for the Sing! Hymnal by Crossway Publishing and Keith & Kristyn Getty, cementing his reputation as a versatile writer for the church.

Looking Ahead
Cochren & Co. will release their third full-length album Runs in the Blood in 2026, preceded by a national headlining tour of the same name launching in March.
