COLE LUMPKIN

New York–based artist Cole Lumpkin is defining a fresh strand of progressive pop — music that merges emotionally rich, hook-driven pop with the adventurous structures, odd time signatures, and instrumental complexity of prog rock. He writes, produces, and mixes his own music, playing every instrument on his iTunes charting debut album OTHERWORLDS, released via Suite 484 in partnership with Sony Music’s The Orchard. Over the past few years he’s built momentum through standout singles like “Euphoria,” “Fun and Games,” and “Pray,” as well as a chart-topping collab “Lowest Moment” with DECAP. His lyrical themes often confront depression, identity, and resilience, while sonically he nods to influences from ‘70s-/’80s prog rock legends as well as contemporary pop and electronic music. Cole’s career blends DIY craftsmanship, genre-bending ambition, and growing commercial and critical recognition.
