Artist's Biography

Indie-Rock artist Wes Cotton is due to release his debut single ‘Love One Another’ on Friday May 28th 2021. The slick production of the track brings Indie Rock and Brit-Pop elements together in a song full of nostalgia.

Always looking to inject some positivity in the world, Wes Cotton created ‘Love One Another’ as a way to deliver a message of hope during this particularly challenging time. A simple request to ‘Love One Another’ can at times sound easier than it is, Wes Cotton aspires to live by this mantra, challenging everyone to do the same as a way of bringing the world together before we tear it apart. The chorus states “We’ve got to love one another before it’s over”. Inspired by 90’s Brit-Pop which can be heard throughout the track, Wes Cotton’s influences include a wide range of rock and pop artists. The overall instrumentation is a nod to the iconic Manchester sound, with its uplifting, catchy guitar riffs that carry the track forward. Wes Cotton's vocals soar over a consistent bass line with complementary drums keeping the energetic tempo and reinforcing the message of unity, love and hope.

Naturally, local Brit-Pop heroes Oasis sparked his passion for music since he was very young. Wes Cotton vividly remembers watching a VHS recording of ‘Live By The Sea’ and being stunned by Noel Gallagher’s performance of ‘Talk Tonight’ and ‘D’Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?’ when he was 17 and inspiring him to start writing original material and eventually form his first band The Movement. Aside from being a talented singer-songwriter, Cotton briefly played rugby on a professional level for the London Broncos. He later ventured into modelling, getting involved in campaigns for GANT and River Island, as well as appearing on the cover of Men’s Health.
