Meet Cooper

Hailing from the musical heart of Memphis, Cooper Riley is a rising country artist with a soulful twist and a bluesy backbone. Growing up in a family where music wasn’t just background noise, it was a way of life, he found himself naturally drawn to the sounds that shaped his upbringing. From front porch jams to studio sessions, music has always been in his blood.

At 18, Cooper dove into songwriting and recording, launching his journey with a song called Still Got Room. More than just a first step, it was a crash course in the music industry that helped him discover his true voice. Today, he’s carved out a lane that blends traditional country storytelling with the gritty soul of the blues, inspired by legends like John Mayer, Cody Johnson, Keith Whitley, Randy Travis, Chris Stapleton, and Memphis blues icon B.B. King.

His authentically bluesy country sound stands out for its emotional grit and southern charm. Each song begins with a melody and evolves through raw, freestyle lyricism until it finds its heartbeat.

Through his music, Cooper aims to inspire listeners the same way his heroes once inspired him.

Whether it’s the magic moment in the studio when a song first comes together, or watching fans connect to the stories in his lyrics, Cooper finds reward in every part of the process. He’s faced the ups and downs of building a career in music, learning the power of patience, faith, and perspective along the way.

With new singles, music videos, and fresh content on the horizon, Cooper Riley is gearing up for a big year ahead!
