John Cook Picks Up “Heaven’s Pen” On Debut Album

“The song ‘Dreamin’ on my album is about treating the bad in our lives as something good…I wrote it when I was just 13 years old,” says Cook.  “The frame of mind I rap about in that song is one that has kept me going throughout all the hardships I’ve had in my life, keeping me focused on my music and my dreams.  This album has been a long time coming, and every single song came straight from my heart.”
