Ko tana papa he hoia tawhito no Awherika-Amerika, i mahi i roto i te Ope Taua o Amerika, a ko tana whaea, ko Kay, he Amerikana ma, he kaimahi pou mo te Ratonga Pouaka o te United States. I muri mai ka whakarerea e te papa o Cole te whanau i a ia e tamariki ana. I te waru o ona marama ka neke tona whaea me ia me tana tuakana a Zach ki te United States, ki Fayetteville, North Carolina. I tipu ake a Cole i roto i te taiao maha-iwi, a, i te patai mo te kaha o tana iwi ki a ia, i kii a Cole, "Ka taea e au te tautuhi ki nga tangata ma, na te mea e mohio ana ahau ki toku whaea, tona taha o te whanau, e aroha ana ahau. Engari i te mutunga o te rā, [kua] kore ahau e whakaaro he mā. Ka taea e au te whakakotahi [ki te hunga mā] engari kāore au i whakaaro ko au tētahi o rātau. Ka nui ake taku whakaaro ki taku ahua, nā te mea koinei te āhua o taku tukinga [engari] ehara i te mea he kino". I a ia e tamariki ana, i whakaatuhia e Cole he aroha ki te poitūkohu me te puoro, a, i mahi ia hei kaituhituhi tuatahi mo te Terry Sanford Orchestra tae noa ki te 2003.

I neke atu ia ki reira, a, i whakaae ki te whiwhi karahipi ki te Whare Wānanga o St. John. I te timatanga o tana ako i te pūtaiao rorohiko, ka huri a Cole ki te whakawhitiwhiti korero me te pakihi i muri i tana kitenga i te oranga o te kaiwhakaako pūtaiao rorohiko mokemoke. I te whare wānanga, ko Cole te tumuaki o Haraya, he rōpū ākonga o Awherika katoa. I puta ia i te magna cum laude i te tau 2007, me te 3.8 GPA. Ahakoa i puta ia, ka...  Pātai: He aha tana GPA?
