Coolzey was borne out of the cornfields of central Iowa and now lives in Los Angeles. A boy who for some unexplained reason grew up only being able to listen to roughneck east coast hip hop and Weird Al Yankovic began looping tapes and rhyming into boomboxes as a child. After that there was Pavement, the Wu Tang Clan, mushrooms, sex, and America. This is the result.

Coolzey passed around handmade lo-fi hip hop and rock demos (Akstoopid, ROYGBIV, Coolzey and the Sucker MCs) until 2007 when he began releasing a series of 3 EPs (He Did, Soixante-Neuf, and Coolzey vs PRZM) that preceded his first official full-length release 'The Honey' which dropped in January of 2010 and also toured extensively with the likes of Joe Jack Talcum of the Dead Milkmen, Sadat X of Brand Nubian, Akil the MC of Jurassic 5, and Raashan Ahmad of the Crown City Rockers.

Since then, Coolzey has released two side projects. The first was a 2011 summer-long project entitled 'Coolzey and the Search for the Hip Hop Hearts' which saw 12 hip hop tracks produced by 12 different producers (including Giant Panda, Crown City Rockers, Copywrite, and J.Rawls) over 12 weeks accompanied by 12 videos which was later made into a DVD, and the recent 2012 side project that sees a return to his 4-track lo-fi home-recording roots 'Live from the Cave @ Dougman'.

Coolzey's 2nd official full-length album 'Hit Factory' released April 2nd, 2013.
