| Louie - Guitar, Backing Vocals & Founding Member: He began his love affair with music as a very young boy in Toronto. It became & still remains to this very day an overwhelming obsession with him. Louie has become a consummate artist & one of the main songwriters for the COBRA KINGS. He spent years touring perfecting his sound & unique blend of styles with bands such as The Green Peppers, C.C. Strut, Joker, Stavin' Chain, Striker, Sunrise, The Blues Boss, In Remembrance & Mojo Grande to name a few. Like his mentors B.B. King & Carlos Santana, Louie's playing gets so intense at times, it seems the guitar is drawing the sound from his very soul. His sweet "Fatt" sound is an integral part of the aural bliss that is unique to the COBRA KINGS. |
Troy - Lead Vocals & Percussion: The COBRA KINGS' International artist. Troy's signature voice is the band's crowning glory. An
Internationally successful artist before he immigrated to Toronto, he's a thrill to see and hear live, doing what he truly loves, working an
audience. Decades of experience are obvious from the start of the show. You owe it yourself to come out and see Troy. You'll be glad you
did. Truly a Shinning Star!

Paul - Bass: as a completely self taught musician, Paul has spent the last 25 years developing a rock solid style and feel to become one
of the GTA's most premier bassists. In addition, Paul has been honing his songwriting chops for the last 10 years and has collaborated
with many International artists including Ray Iaea and Kyle Davids. Paul has performed with some of Toronto's most exciting artists
including Kamal Patel's InnerSoul, Jevon Rudder, Project Phoenix and John Campbell to name but a few. Paul is also currently working
on several side efforts including the Smooth Jazz project "Holland Landing" with fellow Cobra King member Kevin as producer and Paul's
new personal Subversive Nu Jazz project "Watching Circadia". Paul lives by the words, "Don't just work the pocket, own it!" which
epitomizes what the COBRA KINGS are all about.
