Coleman has lived in Southern California for 12 years where he composes contemporary classical music, produces indie songs and DJs underground club tunes biweekly on ÆFFECT - an internet video stream he has co-hosted since 2010. An accomplished pianist and guitarist, Cole was born and raised in northern New York state where he spent years in various musical ensembles. In 2008, he received a B.S.
