Famous LDS People: Musicians
Kenneth Cope
Kenneth Cope is one of the most well-known musicians in LDS circles. He has had many successful albums, but is
probably widest known for songs such as "His Hands" and, most recently, "Hear My Praise."
Kenneth was born June 12, 1961 in Salt Lake City, Utah, as the third of six children. His father, William Henry Cope,
was employed by the weather service, so Kenneth enjoyed living in many parts of the United States (Las Vegas, Maui,
Jacksonville, Houston and Orem, Utah.
In Houston, Cope attended a high school for the performing and visual arts, already hinting at things to come.
In 1980, Kenneth left on a two-year mission to Geneva, Switzerland, as was able to serve in both Switzerland and
France.
He married married Kathryn Call from Blackfoot, Idaho in 1987. His first record, "Heaven—Don't Miss It For The World"
was released in February, 1988.
The following year, the Copes moved to the Los Angeles area, where they stayed for five years. Kenneth worked in
studios and performed across the country, and during this time his first daughter was born.
Eventually, Kenneth and family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where two more daughters were born.
Kenneth's most recent record, "Hear My Praise," was released in April of 2002 and has already begun to garner awards.
