David Cook

David Cook launched into stardom following his 2008 American Idol win, breaking several Billboard chart records soon after. His first album, Analog Heart, came out pre-Idol, and his last album, Digital Vein, nicely bookended a chapter of Cook’s career during which he sold more than 2 million albums (including his platinum-certified eponymous album) and, collectively, more than 5 million tracks (including two platinum-certified singles) worldwide. 2018 brought an exciting new stylistic approach from Cook with the release of his EP Chromance. A fan of both Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails, Cook cited those groups’ incorporation of musical elements across genres as the inspiration for the feel of the record. That same year, Cook made his Broadway debut starring as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots. Cook has continued steadily touring and releasing music, including his EP The Looking Glass in 2021. In July, he released his latest single, “Dead Weight.”
