Artist History Stephen Cooper was born in Maracaibo,Venezuela on January 17,1981, this solo artist began to play guitar at age 12 and wrote his first song at age 16. At age 18 he joined his first band as a guitar player, a death metal band called "Eterna Oscuridad", he wrote a couple of songs while he was in this band but he quit and started his own band. In 1998 he started writing Goth-industrial hard rock songs, in the beginning it was very difficult for him to find musicians that wanted to start a Goth band, the local rock scene seemed that didn't want to make an evolution but Cooper did. After a year, tired of looking for band mates he recorded and performed his first demo on his own, after recording the demo Cooper recruited a band which he called "Infeccion Mental", The band played its first gig in July of 1999 and Cooper managed to build a small following in a city where goth culture doesn't exist. In 2001 "Infeccion Mental" disbanded and in 2002 Cooper went on solo. In 2003 Stephen Cooper released his first EP, this EP has received a great response in the U.S and Europe.
