Emerging artist Cole L. Pierce isn’t trying to be larger than life. In fact, he insists he’s just a regular guy from Skowhegan with ordinary dreams. But it’s that grounded honesty—and a relentless commitment to authenticity—that’s beginning to set him apart.
At 18, Pierce’s life shifted when he met someone he now considers both a close friend and mentor. That relationship sparked not only a deeper dive into music creation, but also introduced him to the genre-blending artistry of Jon Bellion. The impact was immediate and lasting.
“I haven’t listened to another artist since,” Pierce says with a laugh. “I can show you my Spotify history.”
More than just fandom, that introduction ignited something deeper: the realization that creating something truly his own could be the most fulfilling pursuit of all. For Pierce, music became less about chasing attention and more about capturing feeling—raw, unfiltered, and personal.
Passion Over Pressure
When asked what makes him different, Pierce offers a surprisingly humble answer: “Nothing.”
But it’s in that statement where his philosophy shines. He doesn’t aim to be manufactured or molded. He doesn’t want music to feel like a job or a product. For him, it’s passion first—always.
“I wanna be seen, I want to be heard—but on my terms,” he explains. “I don’t want to feel controlled. This isn’t a job. It’s something I love.”
Rather than pointing to a favorite lyric, Pierce speaks about emotion as the true centerpiece of his work. Each song is less about a clever line and more about the overall feeling it carries. His art isn’t designed to impress—it’s meant to connect.
Building Something Bigger Than Music
Pierce’s long-term vision extends beyond streams and numbers. His definition of success is deeply personal: staying true to whatever he felt in the moment he created the music.
“I hope to find more people like me,” he says. “I want to build a community of genuine humans that just want to see people achieve their goals by being vulnerable.”
That vulnerability is the heartbeat of his message. In an era of curated perfection, Pierce is focused on honesty. No masks. No pretense. Just real emotion shared openly.
