JP Cooper
acoustic / folk / soul /

Hailing from Manchester JP Cooper plays a blend of folk, blues, soul and gospel.

His soulfully expressive unique vocal style is the kind that cuts through a room to hush a chattering crowd in seconds and is utterly bewitching. His unexpected vocal flights hardly prepare you for the intimacy and empathy to follow.

JP has been singing with Manchester’s finest gospel choir, The Manchester Sing Out Choir for the last few years which is an unusual training ground for an acoustic singer-songwriter however it’s one that has enabled him to develop an extraordinarily soulful warmth to his vocal whilst retaining a genuine folksy feel and has informed a real leftfield approach to his song writing.

Although gigging constantly JP finds time to recorded & self-release EPs with nothing more than a few battered microphones and some aged recording equipment, his 2011 release also featured a full backing band and gospel singers.
