Chris Cool is a self-produced underground pop artist whose practice is visceral and uncensored. Since 2012, he’s been crafting an uncompromising and irreverent universe that’s both openly vulnerable and sovereign. Chris’ resilience and DIY ethos are the driving forces that have allowed him to see past material constraints. Even though his songwriting is dark at times, reflecting on his own experiences, the multidisciplinary artist knows how to keep it fun, blurring the lines between camp and performative masculinity. Although born in Val-d'Or and raised between Quebec City and Montreal, Chris’ real education came from Myspace and the afters. He makes hits for the dolls and the gays, drawing on eclectic inspirations ranging from Britney, Sean Paul and K-Maro to the Chemical Brothers, Trent Reznor, Peaches and Crystal Castles. Since his beginnings, the self-sculpted pop star has toured across Europe and North America and launched the outdoor rave series WH0REKOUT—born of a need to keep underground culture alive, not just in response to the pandemic, but to fuel Quebec’s nightlife scene.
