Cooper Moore is an 18-year-old songwriter, producer, and artist based in Chicago, Illinois. Known for tracks like "Never Let Go" and "I Wanna Love You," Cooper blends introspective, earnest, comically ironic, and sometimes risqué lyrics with folk, jazz, and rap-influenced indie-rock to create a deeply personal, familiar yet unique sound.

Cooper’s musical journey began early, strumming a toy guitar at age three before officially learning the instrument at five from a family friend. By seven, he was already making waves, earning second place in the Beatles soundalike competition at BeatlesFest. Around this time, he began writing songs, showcasing a lyrical maturity far beyond his years. Over the years, Cooper has performed original music in showcases, opening acts, and solo concerts across the Midwest. Dedicated to honing his craft, Moore has expanded his skill set to include piano, production, and recording, while attending the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp for Popular Singer-Songwriting as well as a second program at NYU's Clive Davis Institute. These experiences have shaped his distinctive approach to creation.

Currently a driving force in Chicago’s indie music scene, Cooper Moore has his debut EP arriving in Spring 2025.

"[Never Let Go] is a perfect antidote for these cold winter nights, delivering an upbeat and vibrant indie rock sound with a bouncy nature that has some moments that made us double check to see if he collaborated with Dr. Dog."

- Will Oliver, We All Want Someone to Shout For

"It's been a privilage to watch Cooper's artistic development over the years. He shows an increased maturity in his musical and lyrical choices."

- Andrew Dost, (fun., Metal Bubble Trio)

"He's wry, quick-witted, has a wonderful intuitive feel for the rhythm of language and understands the fine line of writing accessible and unique melodies and chord progressions."
