Doc’s Story

Doc Bates is a recording artist, writer, composer, teacher, entrepreneur, entertainer, therapist, and lecturer with over 35 years of experience. 

He spent his early career in sales, moved into the music business full-time in 1995 and spent the next 10 years on the road with his band, touring, recording and entertaining before millions of fans. 

After being side-lined by a life-changing injury, Doc founded a Kansas City based school for young entertainers and began training others. 

Fifteen years later, alumni of Doc’s school can be found all over the music industry as artists, producers, songwriters, teachers, and performers. 

Doc continues to write every day and instructs and mentors young artists and entertainers from his home in Lake Lotawana, Missouri where he lives with his wife, youngest son, and German shepherd, Scout.
