LOUIS COLE
Genres: Pop, Art Song, Folk, RnB, Nu Jazz • United States

Ebullient left-field pop from a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist known as one-half of Knower and for work with Seal and Thundercat. A left-field pop musician whose energized material often puts an ebullient spin on everyday pitfalls, Louis Cole is one-half of Knower, a frequent studio collaborator, and a solo artist whose releases include Time (2018), released on the Brainfeeder label. Encouraged by friend and collaborator Jack Conte (Pomplamoose) to release music online, the Los Angeles native got to work after he graduated from USC Thornton School of Music. In 2010, he released a self-titled solo album, and he and partner Genevieve Artadi also issued their first full-length as Knower. Additional self-released solo and duo recordings, along with numerous videos, were scattered across the next few years. Cole co-wrote "Padded Cell" for Seal's 2015 album 7, and within months, he and Artadi were featured on Snarky Puppy's Family Dinner, Vol. 2. read more...
