MMP005: The High Priestess of Kobra and the Lotus – Kobra Paige

My guest today is a woman who knows what she’s talking about when it comes to being a musician.

Kobra Paige is a phenomenal vocalist and songwriter–but she didn’t get there overnight. Starting her journey as a spectator in a Judas Priest concert, she spent years writing songs and continues to pursue her music at all costs.

Her band, Kobra and the Lotus have toured and opened for KISS, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Black Label Society, Max Cavalera, Slash, Steel Panther, Buckcherry, Amaranthe, Fear Factory, Primal Fear, Stratovarius, Praying Mantis, Demon Hunter, Amanda Somerville, Hate Eternal and Sonata Arctica.

I can’t wait for you to hear the wisdom Kobra has brought with her today. Let’s rock!
