John Cooper of Skillet Shares the Secrets of Their Worldwide Success - MIIM 101

John Cooper is the lead singer of the band Skillet (Grammy nominated, Dove Award winning). Today, Skillet is one of the largest rock music touring acts in the world. Hit songs include “Monster,” “Hero,” “Whispers In The Dark,” “Feel Invincible,” and “Stars.” At the time of this episode’s release, their current radio single is “Lions.”

Seth has been working with John and his wife (and fellow Skillet member) Korey, writing songs for their upcoming LP release. In this episode, John and Seth discuss the new record, Skillet’s success, and the difficulties of navigating the politics of the music industry, especially from the perspective of a new, Christian band.

Throughout the story of Skillet’s origin, John explains how it used to be a part of pop culture to see new bands on the weekend. This gave Skillet a great touring opportunity early on, and they found themselves with a passionate following. However, they had a lot of trouble with labels, who despite massive interest, couldn’t get past the fact that they were a Christian band.

Of course, they overcame these challenges and now have several gold and platinum records under their belt.
