He lists his influences as Travis Barker, Tony Williams, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, and Bryan Newman. According to Say Anything's website, his favorite genres include emo, "death-core evil rock," jazz, and rock.[1] Coby attended Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles and was admitted to Berklee College of Music, in Boston, Massachusetts, but did not attend in order to remain with the band.
