Guitarist... songwriter... thinker.
The music that I compose is a shameless amalgamation of anything and everything that I've grown up listening to, from rock to pop, classical to jazz. My lyrics, on the other hand, are a casual commentary on the world that presently surrounds me. The songs that I write are for today; they are my now. My goal when writing them is simplicity, honesty and getting to the point of whatever the mood & matter may be at that moment in time. However, once the song is complete, I like to remember the circumstance that brought it to me and to let it serve as a reflection of who I am as a person, and who I’ve become as a both a musician & and a songwriter.
I want my songs to give me something to think about and, in turn, to give others something to think about, too.
“Topics” (EP) was my first solo release. This project was motivated by my love of creating and of learning… acts that I consider to be both attractive & essential.
I am based in Montreal, Canada.
“Beyond the perceptible Bowie reminiscences, the flair in the guitar flourishes and the panoramic orchestration of the heart-warmingly morose singles bring Scott Cook into a league of his own.”
“Topics” (EP) now available
