About Jeiris Cook 

Jeiris Cook
A former mattress salesman and warehouse manager, Jeiris Cook took a leap of faith into full-time musicianship at the age of 37—with a young family by his side. After countless late nights spent honing his guitar skills, a 2017 camping trip with his son became the perfect stage to test his newfound talent.

How does one go from mattress sales to troubadour? As Cook puts it, “I’d always sing in situations when it wasn’t deemed appropriate—at work, during meetings, even on conference calls. Eventually, I realized the universe was knocking me over the head, trying to tell me something.”

Several years later, Cook has performed across the New York Metro area in venues, restaurants, private events, and showcases. He also volunteers with Musicians On Call, an organization that brings the healing power of live music to patients in healthcare facilities. Deeply committed to music’s restorative potential, Cook considers this work among his most meaningful contributions to his craft.

In 2021, Cook released Date Night, followed by Drunk in 2022—recorded at Hybrid Studios in Nazareth, PA, and produced by Kevin Soffera. That same year, he collaborated with world-renowned bassist Vern Miller (of the 1960s band The Remains) on The Vern Miller/Jeiris Cook Project, a five-song EP written and produced remotely during the pandemic.

On September 29, 2023, Cook released his long-awaited full-length debut album, Patchwork, to critical acclaim. The ten-track LP highlights his lyrical depth and soulful warmth, blending feel-good grooves with a velvety, expressive voice. Produced by Kevin Soffera, Patchwork explores themes of perseverance, love, and self-care.

Cook released his newest single, “Unbreak My Heart,” on November 21, 2025. The song captures the fragile tension between hopeless romanticism and the unforgiving realities of love when feelings go astray—it's an emotional crossroads where blame and forgiveness meet.

Offstage, Cook is a devoted husband to Jennifer Cook and father to three boys—Jeiris X, Lucien, and Kaeden.
