COLE LC

AWAY FROM THE NOISE COLE LC

I’M ON IT IF YOU MAN ARE...

My name is Cole LC I’m a singer, songwriter, rapper from Leeds. Before I start can I just clarify, not to worry, I don't have an imagination barrier and LC doesn’t stand for Leeds City. It’s my second name, LawtonChallenger, felt like I had to get that off my chest because Cole Leeds City doesn’t have a ring to it really.

I’ve liked growing up in Leeds I wouldn’t change it if I could - it was a good start to life being around so many different characters and I could appreciate different music and cultures from a young age. I think when you grow up around parents who have music as such a big part of their lives like mine did it puts you in good stead as an artist because you're invested from the get go. I’ve always been a music head but I’ve tried other things like rugby couple different sports but nothing really satisfied me like music. So the next thing along for me is seeing things live festivals, DJ’s just somewhere I can be with all my peoples and have a good time. I’m not good at being by myself, I get bored fast and get fear of missing out which probably isn’t always a good thing - I always want to be active.

This past year has obviously messed up a lot of things for everyone and from dropping out of collage to signing a record deal and going back and forth from London (for studio, drive to the studio and go straight back to hotel after kind of thing) I had a lot of bottled up energy and I missed being social and what leads from meeting new people just from being out and about. Me and my mates are proper tight and more time if you see one of us you see a few so when they shout me for something course I want to roll! I made the subject for this feature “I’m on it if you man are” because that’s what it is with me and my guys. My mate Longden started climbing mountains recently for a reason I will never know but we got big plans in the old mountaineering scene so if you see us flying up a mountain near you, you know what time it is.

My next steps for this year will be my debut Solo shows in Leeds at the Key Club on the 19th November and Colours in London, Hoxton, on the 22nd.

I’m super gassed for that and to show the world the new music I’ve got lined up because it’s a Mazza!
