Debra Cohen

Debra Cohen is an American indie artist with a powerful story and a diverse musical journey. She began her career in the vibrant Boston rock scene of the 1980s, with her band’s biggest highlight opening for the legendary Joan Jett. But Debra’s path took a transformative turn as her life led her to Israel, where she immersed herself in The Bible, Torah study, and the Hebrew language.

This spiritual awakening reshaped her artistic vision, inspiring her to create original praise music that blends Hebrew and English—a soulful fusion of faith, heritage, and indie spirit. Her music resonates with audiences seeking both authenticity and spiritual depth.

In addition to her original songs, Debra writes music for TV and film, bringing her emotive sound and lyrical craft to diverse creative projects. Locally, she leads Rising Song Clearwater, a Hadar Community Group, where she invites the community to gather in sacred song and liturgical music, fostering connection through shared spiritual expression.

Debra Cohen’s music is more than a soundtrack—it’s a journey from rock stages to sacred spaces, from Boston clubs to Israeli landscapes, and from youthful rebellion to transcendent praise. Discover her music and let it inspire your own journey.
