Artist History Cole Ruddick has played piano since he was a small boy. He learned to read and write music at a very early age, writing his first piece at only 8 years old. He went on to play music throughout his school-age years. Most recently Cole played with the band "1984" during their cover-song period, and he helped to write songs for their first CD. He had to leave the band when he moved to Washington State, where he now lives only a short drive north of Seattle.

Instruments Several Keyboard Synthesisers, including the new Korg KARMA and lot's of way-too-expensive software and hardware. "There's always something new to play with!"
