Louis Cole is Los Angeles based singer-songwriter who catapulted to popularity through a Youtube video for his song “Bank Account”. Cole a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, but prefers to work outside professional studios and often writes humorous songs. He has claimed he only trying to write his own favorite songs. If you think he is stylistically similar to Thundercat you are not completely off-base, as they are close friends and collaborators. He’s given a private performance for Quincy Jones and co-writen a song with Seal. Above is a funky song about ditching perfectionism and the video is a thrill-ride of unexpected turns.
