Az Cohen

Born in NYC, Az Cohen's career in the music industry began unexpectedly. With expectations that Az would join the family industry, he instead picked up the stand up bass and turned his focus towards musicianship at a young age. As he progressed throughout high school and into college, his focus later turned to artist management and production and he found success during his senior year at NYU with Dallas, TX-based Post Malone while interning at 300 Entertainment. With a proven record of discovering superstars in their earliest stage, Az is the youngest A&R at 300 at only 24. Now heading the independent label's A&R research department only a few years post graduation the moves he is yet to make in his career are sure to be as massive as the artists he's discovered and developed.
