Lionel Cole was born in New York City and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. He has the music already in his roots, with his uncle Nat King Cole and father Freddy Cole, Grammy nominated jazz singer, setting the standard.  But these days, Lionel Cole is happy to rely on his own talents as pianist, songwriter, singer with a soulful baritone voice and mentor to some of Australia’s best up and coming talent. Currently he is the lead singer of his band “Cole Soul and Emotion”. Striking examples which reflect the extent of his career are his co-written songs with Mariah Carey, being a touring member of her band, as well as a part of Robert Downey Junior’s band and his performances on the Ellen and Oprah shows.
