Will Joseph Cook’s musical story starts appropriately enough, with a song called Catalyst, first uploaded to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing in December 2013 when Will was only 16. The song - quavering emotions delivered via accomplished, inspired indie pop - impressed the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing team in his native Kent enough to play it a lot, helping him to raise a profile and gather anticipation for his debut single, Streets of Paris, which came out earlier this year.
Reviewers began to compare him to Phoenix and Two Door Cinema Club when trying to decode his muse; the follow-up single Message drew comparisons with Local Natives and Stornoway. Will just kept plugging away, racking up gigs and festival bookings (and finishing his A-levels). And recently he celebrated the millionth streamed play of his You Jump I Run EP on Spotify, after just a month of release. That’s the kind of chemical reaction that needs no artificial stimulation.
