At 22, Debra Clark enrolled into a music college in Brookline, Massachusetts.  She stayed there long enough to learn about rock chord progressions, then dropped out to join a New Wave Band in Boston in the 80's - listen to CD "Eighties" by Debra Cohen.  The highlight was opening up for Joan Jett.  Her musical dreams were foiled by drugs, which led her down a different path seeking spirituality (sort of like The Beatles did).  She tried various religions until she visited Israel in 1999 and became a believer in the God of Israel, and started writing music to psalms, praise, and worship, in her married name as Debra Cohen.  She also sells her band MERCH on Amazon as DCM MERCH, and published her first nonfiction book about the truth of Palestine to help readers understand the historic facts pertaining to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, entitled "Jewish Palestine/Arab Palestine:  A History of Conflict."

Kim Gilson was born to be a teacher. As far back as she can remember, she played school in her room, teaching dolls and stuffed animals from a chalkboard, and holding parent/teacher conferences with those who struggled. As she grew older, the stuffed animals became real students, to whom she taught band and then math. As her career in public education blossomed, Kim learned her passion was teaching adults, making difficult topics easier to understand and enjoying laughter in the process. The sudden loss of her husband, Paul, to a blood clot in 2014 sent her on a personal journey of grief and a battle to reclaim joy in her life for her and her sons. Wanting to share her zeal for life with others, she became a certified Zig Ziglar trainer, speaker, and coach. After retiring from public education in 2022, she felt a calling to utilize her teaching and speaking skills to revitalize the hearts, minds, and dreams of people, activating them towards fulfilling their God-given purpose.
