biography
Cooper Lower is an Australian singer/songwriter and acoustic guitarist. In 2018, the pop/soul troubadour will be touring his third album across North America and Europe, before returning home to an Australian tour in October/November.
The story begins unlike most professional careers, 'tis the tale of chubby 13 year old, a pretty girl and a lonesome guitar. Cooper began teaching himself guitar in a pitiful attempt to court this pretty girl. Music very quickly turned into a vehicle for purpose, meaning and contribution to the world's injustices.
Although he has little pride in his musical origins (especially having never got the girl), Cooper has embraced the byproduct of his childhood venture and kickstarted a career that would allow him to traverse through three continents and share his music with thousands of people every year.
He never got the girl, but the career that has allowed him to share his music throughout three continents, and a blossoming discography.
After lowering his studio eyes to the acoustic guitar, Lower's Mysteries of Midnight EP (2018) received acclaim from some of Australia's most respected music reviewing forums, Forte Magazine and Beat Magazine.
Just A Thought (2015), Impetus (2016).
At 19 years old, Lower has shared his music with thousands of people across three continents, capturing the hearts and minds of strangers young and old.
Cooper has spent the past two years

REVIEWS
“Everyone in the room felt it. He has a voice that is both powerful and gentle, lilting and strong. Cooper’s profound songwriting, captivating guitar work and incredibly humble stage presence made for a simply mesmerising audience experience.”
Carol Altmann, Bluestone Magazine
“That guitar work was stunning. He could have spent the entire set showing off his repertoire of ridiculous guitar techniques, but his maturity and awareness forbade it. He knows when to hold back, and when to let loose - a temperament that only comes with years of experience.”
Jack Farnham, Red Run Riot
“Rising teenage troubadour-folk/bluester Cooper Lower seems ready to ramble through the world in the same romanticised Combi we like to imagine Jack Johnson or Passenger swearing by.”
Mac McNaughton, themusic.com.au (3.5 / 5)
“And suddenly, a room full of strangers became best friends.”
Eileen Gale, Pubarazzi
“Cooper’s songwriting is an uplifting assault on the harsh, underlying truths of our society. He won’t tell you what to think, but he’ll let you exactly what he’s thinking with every intention of waltzing into your inhibition.”
Jed Mast, The Loft
“Somehow this has me considering the futility of love, life and attachment while the sound is simultaneously reassuring me that everything about that is all fine. Cooper, you are now in possession of my sub-conscious.”
