JP Cooper is a welcome guest here in Belgium and his audience is growing along with him. He has performed at the intimate Charlatan (Ghent), the Botanique (Brussels), Reflektor (Liège) and Het Depot (Leuven). Every audience has gone always home with a smile, because JP Cooper stands for positivity, empathy and soul. He radiates those as a person aswell and lets them prevail in his songs. ‘Perfect Strangers’ (co-written with Jonas Blue) was a mega-hit and still instantly lets the sun shine through, as does the soulful ‘September Song’. The Brit perfectly manages to match his unique, slightly rough voice with his love of folk, blues, pop and gospel and artists like Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder.
When you see JP Cooper on a stage, you see him in his natural habitat and clearly enjoying himself. He wants to convey that feeling to the people in the audience, and he succeeds in doing so time and again.
