Louis Cole (born in Los Angeles, U.S.A), is an American singer and songwriter. Born into a musical family, Cole took up the drums when he was eight years old, later studying at USC Thornton School of Music, majoring in Jazz Studies. Upon graduation, Cole began uploading videos to social media, gaining considerable attention from the public and celebrities alike. Recording his debut self-titled album in 2010 and co-founding the band Knower with singer-songwriter Genevieve Artadi, the pair released Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi in the same year, followed by three further independent albums, Think Thoughts (2011) Let Go (2013) and Life (2016). Known for his diverse and eclectic style, Cole continued to release a further three solo albums including Time (2018), Live Sesh (2019) and LIVE 2019 (2020). Rumoured to be a member of mask-wearing music duo ClownC0re, due to his recognisable artistry and drumming prowess, Cole’s elusive anti-genre approach has earned him a cult following, with his sixth album Quality Over Opinion released in October 2022 to critical acclaim. Another track from the album, "Let it Happen", was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals in 2023, while the entire album earned a nomination for Best Alternative Jazz Album the following year. In May 2023, he released his fourth album, Some Unused Songs, and followed up in 2024 with, nothing, a collaboration with the Metropole Orkest and Jules Buckley.
