In the face of a rapidly deteriorating societal infrastructure, Catman Cohen rejects the current, vacuous, materialistic, Cult of Celebrity and calls upon society to raise new heroes who can inspire our children to fill essential vocations now in crisis.

Biography

After purchasing a $200 piano from a family in Inglewood, California in 2003, Catman Cohen was reborn. It was a magical piano and contained the spirits of many dead composers who guided Catman to find his unique sound. He would speak with them late at night and they taught him the secrets of the Yahweh chord, upon which all of Catman’s music is based. The Yahweh chord comes directly from Heaven and when it is played, it soothes the pain of the world and softens the hardest of souls. Inglewood means Wood in the Corner. ... The Tetragrammaton in Phoenician (1100 BC to 300 CE), Aramaic (10th Century BC to 0) and modern Hebrew scripts. ...

Before his rebirth, Catman Cohen developed his sense of balance from the cold blowing snows of the Canadian prairie. His special, visionary father gifted him with the gene of the Holy Priests from Old Jerusalem, the source of Catman’s reverence for the Divine. Most importantly, he taught Catman the lessons of humility…the importance of understanding that even a janitor pushing a broom can impart secrets about the Universe worth learning. His sweet, inspirational mother exposed Catman to music and led him to the smoky Temple of Kline located at the foot of Mount Royal where he learned about piano keys and their ability to make men cry. Jerusalem (; Hebrew: Yerushalayim; Arabic: al-Quds, Greek Ιεροσόλυμα), the capital of Israel, is an ancient Middle Eastern city on the watershed between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea at an elevation of 650-840 meters. ...

Over the years, Catman Cohen had many diverse experiences. A rollercoaster of tears, joy, exultation, and disappointment always brought Catman back to the piano, upon which he would attempt to capture each moment through combinations of musical notes floating through the air.

Yet it was not until Catman Cohen’s arrival in the desert that he finally encountered the experiences that would lead him to his final rebirth. In a merciless environment of scorching heat, hostile reptiles, and decadent temptations, Catman struggled to preserve his inner light. It was all but extinguished until a Key to the Stars appeared and saved him from ruin. She lifted him from the pits of hopelessness and despair, then taught him how to rekindle his inner fire. With renewed purpose, Catman finally left the desert, determined to heal the world through his music, as best as he can. Desert view in Saudi Arabia. ...

With the help of his two musical interpreters, producer Henry Iglesias and engineer James Lum, plus a variety of very talented artist friends, Catman Cohen shaped his music.

Today Catman Cohen resides in Marina Del Rey, California, in a little room overlooking a parking lot filled with rows of tractors and heavy equipment. However, now when Catman looks at the world from his window, he only sees rows of roses, rising ocean waves, and limitless possibilities. Marina del Rey boat harbor Marina del Rey is a census-designated place and seaside town located in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, California. ...

And although the Key to the Stars remains in the desert, Catman Cohen still finds himself looking Northward in her direction whenever ever he needs to find his way.

Controversy

On September 8, 2005, Catman Cohen issued a press release denouncing How I Want to Die suicide sites/blogs appearing on the Internet. Having been alerted about various teenagers creating such suicide websites/blogs, Catman went on record, stating that, "although dark and downbeat in tone, How I Want to Die is not a music CD advocating suicide, nor was it ever designed to be." Suicide (from Latin sui caedere, to kill oneself) is the act of willfully ending ones own life. ... The first use of the term weblog. ...

Catman further stated: "I created the music CD, How I Want to Die at a time in my life when I was severely depressed about personal matters and the state of the Nation - and no doubt the CD reflects that fact. It serves as a personal confession of my darkest secrets - and it resolves in favor of life, not against it. How I Want to Die urges a path toward implementing solutions, not a path toward surrender."

Catman urged despondent young kids embracing How I Want to Die as a tribute to suicide to seek counsel of friends, family, or mental health professionals. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...

• Do not name your children Paris, Britney, Ashley, Justin, Jesse or any other populist favorites because, in 20 more years, there will not be a child in the world who will want those names, the epithets for tired old wrinkled prunes with faded tattoos and droopy piercings, vestiges of a culture no longer sufficiently consumerist to warrant attention or interest from the taste-makers of the day ~ on following the crowd

• So far, I have not opted to become an American, not because of enormous cultural differences, but rather the inferior quality of chocolate bars sold in the USA ~ on being a Canadian living in America

• Some things just don't make sense anymore: if society pays a young songwriter royalties on a single creation until the day he dies, then why not pay a fireman equivalent royalties in perpetuity for his own "act of art," namely the extinguishment of a single, major fire in which many lives are saved? ~ on resurrecting neglected heroes

• I am not a big fan of musical or verbal illiteracy, even in the name of teenage rebellion, but the Rap handshake, fist touching fist, is a blessing I hope will replace the traditional handshake mainstream: less germs, fewer diseases, and not as sticky ~ on the music industry

• There are corporate elites whose ultimate dream would be to make every human purchase water through a bottle someday...even the water you use for a shower or bath.

• Advertisers control the music biz and God help the artists whose songs or lifestyles fail to endorse the consumption of bling-bling. Maybe I'm doomed because the only product I want to sell anybody is the bling-bling of awareness ~ on the music industry

• We need to place velvet ropes around the hospitals, fire-stations, schools, soldiers barracks, and police stations of this nation. People should line up in front of those buildings, begging for entrance, as though they were the hottest nightclubs in the nation. It should be a privilege, no less than a divine honor, to touch or receive an autograph from a nurse, fireman, soldier, teacher, or cop today. They are the heroes we need to reclaim desperately or we will perish in a society whose caretakers have become pretty heiresses, porno muscle-heads, ball players, fame groupies, and aspiring entertainers ~ on resurrecting neglected heroes

• I've always feared death by old age where one wastes away and sees one body part after another slowly fail. I really do believe that Hell in many forms can exist on Earth, not in any afterlife....and most of the elderly know what I mean.

• I want to become the first music artist to live forever. You see, if all I am is a shadow behind a screen, then anybody with a low bullfrog voice can be the Catman. That means, when my time on this planet ends, another person can step in and continue The Catman Chronicles, another person can assume my identity and address a new litany of compelling social causes with each music project created ~ on immortality

• My greatest tragedy in life has not been lack of luck, but rather the inability to recognize it or have the balls to act upon it – and my greatest triumph in life is realizing that, in so many ways, I am truly the luckiest person on the planet ~ on bad luck

Catman Cohen announced he is developing his third CD, tentatively entitled, How I Want to Dream: the Catman Chronicles 3. LIke his other albums, Dream will be built around a societal crisis in-the-making, one that requires immediate, community, remedial action. Yet, Catman has let it be known that the similarity will likely end there. He aspires to create a breakthrough musical concept, a largely non-verbal melange of sensual music and primal vocalizations that combines the best elements of Ottmar Liebert and Enigma (musical project), while conjoining them into a soundscape that is distinctively Catman-ian in nature.
