Michael Cochren is an award-winning singer/songwriter and worship leader born and raised in a small Indiana town. After graduating from school, Cochren began playing music nationwide with a band of friends, later including his wife Leah, under the name Cochren & Co. (pronounced Cochren and Company). With hope-filled lyrics and timeless melodies, Cochren & Co. blurs the line between American pop/rock and soul/blues to create a classic sound all their own. Nominated for a GMA Dove Award for New Artist of the Year and a K-LOVE Breakout Single, their debut full-length album, Don’t Lose Hope, was released on Gotee Records in 2021. The debut included Billboard Top 10 Radio Hits “Church (Take Me Back),” which has become RIAA Gold Certified, “One Day”, and “Who Can." The title track, “Don’t Lose Hop,e” was featured in an episode of CBS’s MacGyver.

Cochren & Co.’s sophomore project, Running Home (2023), features the group's first No. 1 Billboard radio single with the title track which was also a Top 10 Airplay song of 2023 while the track “Thank God For Sunday Morning” was listed as one of K-LOVE’s 22 Songs that Defined 2022. In June of 2023, the group made their historic debut on the Grand Ole Opry, followed by a second performance that year, and have been featured in various performances, including GRAMMY.com's Positive Vibes Only and K-LOVE On Demand's "The Barn Series." The group performed at the Opry again in 2024 before joining MercyMe and Crowder on tour.

In 2025, Michael became a No. 1 songwriter for the second time when the song “Somebody Prayed,” which he co-wrote with Crowder, hit No. 1 on Billboard for consecutive weeks. Cochren & Co. will make their live national debut on Fox & Friends in March, followed by a performance at the acclaimed Red Rocks in Colorado with TobyMac and Switchfoot.
