Rhode Island native Aaron Abrahamson Cote traded an offer for a full ride at a Doctoral music
program for the real prize: a job playing music on cruise ships, traveling the world and experiencing tropical life first-hand. Settling on the coast for aquatic inspiration, Cote celebrates arts and culture of the islands by playing classic and modern reggae, dancehall, Soca, and punk with Caribbean spice. Online, he’s caught the attention of Sublime, Green Day, NOFX, Rancid, Rebelution, Ninajirachi, and dozens of other bands. Cote has charmed over 60 million viewers with a mix of musical nostalgia that caters to the listener, served with the pleasant surprise of an instrument nobody quite understands, and the relaxing sound of sunshine! Cote is looking to catch the next wave – playing more festivals, guesting with more artists, and enjoying life together!
