The story behind the sound
Bristol native Will Cookson focuses his pseudo, alt-folk music through a highly personalised lens. A singer-songwriter and musical craftsman, his songs are layered with wonder and whimsy, but never lose their evocative storyteller feel. His musical range is as wide as his vocal range, easily dipping down into bass notes before soaring up into soft falsetto. Will compliments this heartfelt voice with gentle guitar, piano, and ukulele, branching out into wider orchestration when the song demands it. His music manifests a trusted sanctuary out of harm’s way; a place where it’s safe to reflect and dream. He is a diamond discovery, waiting for those that love the sound of artists like Sufjan Stevens, Elliott Smith, and Nick Drake.
