Dean Kohn is an American Rock Vocalist. Some of his past projects include Attakk,Loudness,Malice and recently Barren Cross.

In 1988, Dean the Christian rock singer was singing lead vocals for the band ATTAKK, when friend and band mate, Hideo Inakuma, introduced him to the Japanese band Loudness. Upon recording and pre-releasing a demo in Japan for the band ATTAKK, the members of Loudness inquired if Dean wanted to sing on their upcoming CD, Soldiers of Fortune. Munetaki Higuchi, the drummer for Loudness, and Hideo Inakuma contacted Dean from Japan and they all agreed to meet and set recording dates. Although Dean began cutting tracks, the Executive Producer, determined it would be better to replace Dean with a vocalist that resembled the former singer more closely. Disappointed but not discourged, Dean kept pursuing his career.

In 1989, Dean met with guitarist Mick Zane and bassist Mark Behn from the band Malice and began rehearsing. However, due to Dean’s battle with drugs and alcohol he left the band.

In 1991, Dean accepted Christ into his life; however, his desire was to still sing and pursue a career in music.

But God kept pursuing Dean and in 1992, he felt that he needed to surrender his whole life to Christ and he entered rehab at Victory Outreach Men’s Home (VOMH). Here Dean was able to get clean and develop a relationship in Christ. Upon graduation, from VOMH, Dean laid his musical dream down and began working with the VOMH faculty, helping others discover a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Dean has been serving and helping to build this ministry for over 19 years.

Dean was asked to become the new lead vocalist for Barren Cross Christian rock band in 2009.

In 2009, Christian Rock band Barren Cross returned to the music world with new vocalist Dean Kohn who spent two years under Elizabeth Sabine.
