About Cohen Waters Jr.

Born & raised on the Southside of Chicago, Cohen is a multi-disciplinary artist. Before graduating from Wendell Phillips High School, he had interests in doing art full-time. He received great success in the community along with other Chicago creatives with the launch of WTRS* in 2019-2022. After high school, Cohen attended Northern Michigan University; playing football & majoring in graphic design. Ultimately, he would decide to leave the university, continuing to prevail in the industry without formal fashion training. When Cohen arrived back home in Chicago, he along with other fellow comrades, started a grassroots organization called the Displaced Alliance 4 Pan-Afrikan Socialists (D.A.P.S) to better serve the community.
