Joey Cooksey

Joey was born and raised in Louisiana where he began playing drums at an early age and later joined the drumline of his local high school. After school he teamed up with Rimshott Productions where he started recording drum tracks for various music projects. He used is experience with Rimshot Production to start Hourglass Studios which specializes in tracking and mixing drum tracks in 2017. Joey also cofounded the now defunct band Fall of Isaac and provided the drums for their single “Dark Side of Everything” recorded at Konkrete Studios in New Orleans. After four years with Fall of Isaac, Joey began searching for new projects which led him to his role as drummer of the up and coming band Wake Theory. Wake Theory joined forces with MxD Records out of Berlin, Germany to release “Forever” and “Falling Faster”. Wake Theory went on to be recognized and ranked both nationally as well as globally, on Reverb Nation’s Top 10 in October 2018 but the band dissolved before the band could reach its full potential. Joey and former Wake Theory Guitarist Anthony “Ant” Jones went on to form SevVven. After releasing “All I need is you” and “Home” SevVen was signed to Curtain Call Records and released “Parasite” in late 2020 and are currently working on their first album under Curtain Call Records.
