KING COOLEY

King Cooley is a neo-soul, hip-hop artist from the Southside of Atlanta, Georgia. Her sound is a fusion of rap and indie-soul storytelling on themes of love, self-discovery, and social change.

Cooley recounts that her love of storytelling began as a young artist, drawing comics for friends and collecting album artwork from her favourite CDs. Her early interest in art led her to attend SCAD, where she received her B.F.A. in Graphic Design and a minor in Business. Shortly after graduating, Cooley released her single Climate Change. The breakthrough single blasted through the digital sphere, bringing critical attention to both, earning over 300,000 streams to date and being placed on over 2,000 Spotify playlists (including Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Discover Weekly, Next Wave Neo-Soul, and Madame Gandi’s “The Future is Female” playlist).

In addition to her independent release success, Cooley’s tracks like “Friend Zone” and “Reunion Season” have been featured on international television shows like Netflix’s Forever, The Asset, Love Is Blind, and CBS’s Beyond the Gates. Cooley continues to branch out into her own artistic lane, with standout performances at SXSW 2026, SoFar Sounds Charleston, and LxVE Fest, L.A.
