About Jay Cooper
Artist Biography
Self-taught musician and artist Jay Cooper made a name for himself with his mix of hip-hop, alternative R&B, and electronica, first collaborating in the L.A. hip-hop scene and then solo with a slew of releases including 2020's debut album INTERIM.
Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Cooper had originally gone by the name JayWays, producing mainly electronic music and playing low-key club nights and events in and around New South Wales. A move to North America in 2016 saw him decamp to L.A., where he was taken under the wing of the Robert Glasper Trio's Jahi Sundance. Producing behind the scenes found Cooper working with a range of artists before he decided to branch out on his own, delivering his debut single, "Say Something," in 2017. Over the next two years, Cooper developed his signature sound, a woozy mix of underground R&B, lo-fi electronica, and hip-hop before delivering his eight-track debut album 2020's INTERIM. ~ Rich Wilson
