Bio
It’s easy to see why the city of Memphis has acquired such nicknames as Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll. Since the dawn of American music, the city has served as a springboard for several new styles of music.
From the gut-wrenching blues of BB King, to the rock-n-roll swing of Elvis Presley, the moving testaments of soul man Isaac Hayes, to the angst-inspiring energy of rap subgenre known as crunk, the Barbecued Pork Capital of the World has been fertile grounds to supply the musical soundtrack for the rest of the world to enjoy.
The newest installation in the city’s rich musical tradition is Memphis native son Cool Courtney. Over the past decade, he has built a cult-like fan base with a slew of albums, mixtapes and sizzling hot singles. His latest single “Wide Open” has been spreading across the South like wildfire, and he is set to further fuel the flames with the upcoming releases of two albums Cool World Order and Air Courtney #LEAK 2 via new business venture OGE/ICE.
“I do all music. I do whatever I want to do on the music,” says Courtney. “Everybody wants to do a certain template or rap a certain number of bars. I got no order with my music and I don’t do just one kind of music.”
